Using that particular router should not matter at all. Just treat it
as you would any other hub. Although I think it would be easier to set up
the router to NOT be a DHCP server, and use a private network subnet.
The manual that comes with that router gives _complete_ instructions on
how to this.
Of course make sure your smb.conf is set up correctly as well.
Good Luck..
