Yes, connected directly (I thought I'd leave the wireless router alone until I got the connection working). I dont *believe* I have any firewall up and running - when I look at the connection in Network Places it certainly doesn't indicate a firewall. What else could be blocking the dhcp requests, as I think that may be the issue.
