problem using router for my sbc dsl

[jimmy]

HI,

I just signed up with sbc dsl. They sent me 2wire 1070 modem. I installed it using CD it came with. Everything worked fine. Since I wanted to share the connection with my roommate, I bought D-Link router as suggested by a salesperson at computer store. I connected modem to router's wan port, and router's lan port to computer. Now I don't get any internet connection. SBC Self Help comes up telling me that modem needs to be connected to computer directly. Is there any way around this?

Thanks.
Jimmy
