Many of my settings depend on having the router set as a DHCP server. 
Moreover, not all versions of the firmware have the same features. My 
firmware is 2.02.2, the latest (AFAICT) for my particular hardware 
revision (1.1).

On the "Setup" -> "Basic Setup" screen, I have Internet Connection Type 
set to "Automatic Configuration - DHCP." I.e., it's getting its WAN-side 
IP address allocated by the cable modem.

The Local IP Address (i.e., the address of the router) is the default 
192.168.1.1, Netmask 255.255.255.0

I didn't fill in any DNS addresses because it's getting those via the 
cable modem. I see two DNS addresses on the Status - Router page.

On Setup -> Advanced Routing I have Operating Modes set to Gateway.

I think that most of the rest will be set as you require, but feel free 
to ask about any particular item.
