How are you connecting the D-Link to the Siemens? You should at the very least be connecting the D-Link's WAN port to one of the Siemens' LAN ports, and leaving the D-Link's WAN settings to DHCP - its WAN should show a 192.168.1.* IP from the Siemens. That should give you a working outgoing connection.

Properly, especially if you want to configuring incoming traffic (port forwarding), you should be setting the Siemens to Bridge mode first, so it operates as JUST a modem, not a modem/router.

That means the router will now get a 10.* IP from Telus' internal network; you'll need to go through the process of registering the D-Link's WAN MAC address with your Telus account...

OR, the Siemens should list its own WAN MAC on a sticker on it, or in the setup somewhere, so you can copy that into the MAC Clone section in the D-Link, and it will get the same internet IP you had before.

And yes, screw the installer disk.
