Connect the wan port to your dsl modem, and let the wrt do its nat-routing. If your dsl modem has an address like 192.168.1.1, then you have to choose an address from a different range for your wrt router, eg 192.168.2.1, also set the netmask accordingly (255.255.255.0 in this case). This way you can still reach your dsl modem to set stuff there. The outbound address of your wrt can be provided by the dsl modem's dhcp server. This will be blocked by the wrt, and clients of the wrt will acquire their address from the dhcp server on the wrt router. This is my setup, and works without any problems.
If you want your router to be reachable from the world, set the dsl modem to forward all traffic to the wrt router. Similarly, if you have a server behind the wrt, you can set forwarding (global or port based) in your wrt. Good luck! Sjoerd
