Hi Mark,

I have not used your particular modem and router but this seems a general configuration question applicable to all these setups. You need to set the modem to act as dhcp server for the internal network, it will then assign an IP address to the router. Configure the router to act as dhcp server to your machine and configure your machine for dynamic IP address. They should then all see each other. However this shoulda been configured automatically right from the start if you powered the devices up in the right sequence.
Please bear in mind I am not familiar with how to configure that on your devices -presumably web interface.
