Using D-Link Wireless Router as an AP

I just bought a D-Link DI-614+ that I want to use as an access point.

My network is configured as such:
Cable Modem -> Linksys BEFSR41 Router -> 4 Port Switch

I plugged the WAN port of the DI-614+ into a free ethernet port on the 4 Port Switch. I just want the Wireless router to just act as an Access Point Serving the connection to my current line. I would like the BEFSR41 to be the DHCP server assigning IPs to the wireless laptop.

Right now, I can't get the laptop on the wireless network to access my LAN. I think the firewall on the 614 is keeping me out. I can't figure out how to turn it all off.

I know this sounds a little confusing, so I'll sum it up. If I turn off DHCP, Turn off the firewall built into the 614+, should I be able to allow the BEFSR41 to act as the DHCP server? If so, how do I do it, if not, what do I do?
