Network is driving me crazy

Hi
I'd be grateful if anyone could solve my network problems.
First the set-up
1 PC (wired) 2 Laptops all running XP SP2 (1 wired 1 Wifi) and IP address set to auto.
D-Link ADSL2 DSL320T modem with ethernet link to router
TP-Link TL-W541G Router
At this stage I have disregarded the wifi and have set it to off.
The modem IP is 192.168.1.1 DHCP enabled
The router IP is 192.168.0.1, WAN is set to Dynamic, DHCP off
These are the settings advised by D-link and TP-link
I can access the internet using 1 PC without router.
I have previously used the router using the PC as a gateway so I know that all the hardware is working. However when I add the router I am unable to connect to the internet.
The WAN on the router is able to dynamically find all the settings from the modem i.e. IP, mask, gateway and DNS (boxes are blank until search is made)
I can ping from PC to laptop and can cofirm with IPconfig/all that the IPs etc have been allocated.
All cables are standard i.e. no crossovers.
All firewalls are disabled.
But still I cannot connect to the internet.
Any advice gratefully received
