configuring a Linksys to work behind a Netgear

I have a NetGear CG814WG modem/router connected to my ISP, Road Runner.
It's standard DHCP.

The NetGear, the "edge" router is the home network wireless "hub".

I need to put a Linksys WRT54GL behind my NetGear (1st) router and my
PC_&_Vonage ATA 'landline' box behind the Linksys
(leaving the other home networking computers still using the NetGear
router)


IOW;
ISP (DHCP) --> NetGear router -->= other computers/Linksys router ||
Linksys router -->= ATA box/my computer.

1. I'm trying to get the Linksys, the 2nd router in the series (the one
my computer and ATA box are connecting to) "broadcasting" a different
IP Address than what the initial router, the NetGear is broadcasting.
(umm, terminology?)
This is because I am having problems calling from a Vonage ATA
"landline" box back to my Vonage softphone on my PC, when both are
connected to/across the NetGear router.

2.I also need to configure the Linksys to log both my computer's
activity and my Vonage ATA's activity to see what ports are being
accessed/used, and maybe diagnose why the PC_Vonage_to_ATA_Vonage won't
communicate across/through the Netgear router.

Does anyone maybe have a quick "Do this_then do that" prescription ..
Or a group or forum thread ..? I'm not very networking savvy, and am
hopjng for a simple setup guide and/or a heads-up on any issues I might
encounter.. ?

Thank anyone for any help!
