HELP! Using router as a switch?

[azproc1]

Hi all,

My first post today! Well, I have a DLINK 704P rev A router that's hooked up to my DSL connection. I also have a DLINK 704 router that I want to use as a switch (without routing capabilities). I have hooked up a straight through cat5 cable from one of the out ports on the 704p to the wan port on the 704. The problem is, that I cannot access the internet or my network from anything plugged into the 704. I would like to know what I should set on the 704 to make it become a dummy router (switch). My 704P is 192.168.0.1, 704 is 192.168.0.2. Any suggestions would be very appreciated. send replies here and to azproc@hotmail.com

Thanks again all

This is for Wireless but the principle is the same, just ignore the Wireless part.
