Hi, I'm in a bit of a unique situation.. and the DIR655 router doesn't seem to want to do what I am expecting..

I have a Raspberry Pi , it is
  - running Raspbian (Debian)
  - properly configured to connect to an internet enabled wifi network (Let's call it N1).
  - pass that internet traffic to it's eth0 interface.. allowing whomever connects via eth0 to access N1 (and the internet)
 
I want, the DIR655 to plug into the Raspberry Pi via ethernet on it's 'internet' port. detect the internet from eth0.. and then act as a DHCP server for a whole other access point (let's call it N2)...

Right now I can connect to N2, but there's no internet capabilities... I think I need to properly configure something but unsure what.  I see the instructions for bridge mode http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=40856.0 .. but my situation is a little different.  I don't want to disable DHCP on the DIR655 at all.. in fact it should be running it's DHCP, and treat the Raspberry Pi almost like a cable modem.

SUCCESS!

So for those who also try this...

you need to get the N2 DIR655's DHCP server to stop trying to assign addresses within 192.168.0.# range..

I reconfigured the DIR655 to occupy 192.168.1.1, and assign across 192.168.1.100 to 199

I turned off UPNP as well.. not sure it mattered.

Once I got off that range, I easily could get new clients on N2 talking to the Raspberry Pi, and subsequently the internet.
