Hi, I have windows vista prem.  I have quest dsl, my actiontec dsl modem also serves out my wireless network.  From the modem, i have a 4 port switch which my 2 desktop machines use to access the actiontec modem.  I installed the d-link dsm-520 server software on my system but it's not connecting to the modem to send it's signal to the 520 receiver.  Should I replace the switch with a router?  Will this solve my problem?  Is there a better way to broadcast my wifi signal to the receiver?  I tried connecting the receiver to my local wifi network, the connection worked but it could not find a media lounge server.  Help?

Best, Scott
