I had a DLink like this for a while, worked fine when I set it to PPPoA (the usual for non-USA ADSL) bridge & DHCP on the client. Sounds stupid, but the router's WAN IP gets passed through to the PC via DHCP so you get the static address that the ISP issues to the router and the router becomes invisable to the Internet as your box has the routable IP on its NIC.
