Linksys WRT54GS - can't connect from LAN

I picked up this unit to try out as a wireless access point on my
network. I currently use a D-link DI-624 but I wanted to try the
Linksys to see if I get better range.

The D-link is currently used as an access point only. I have a wired
router/firewall that works fine. The D-link is connected to a wired
router through a cross-over cable and DHCP is shut off.

I disconnected the cross-over from the D-link and plugged it into the
Linksys but the Linksys doesn't respond. I tried a normal
(non-cross-over) and it didn't work either. I then plugged the Linksys
directly into my computer and it responded just fine.

I'm sure there is no conflict with the IP address and the DHCP on the
Linksys is turned off. Could I be missing something?

Are you plugging the router into the WAN or LAN port of the WRT54GS?

The LAN port. Basically, I'm duplicating the setup with my D-link.
Just replacing the D-link with my Linksys. Can't imagine why it
wouldn't work.

I read somewhere that the Linksys has an auto-switching feature that
precludes the need for a x-over cable. Anyone know if that is true?
