Firewall/Router

I have an ADSL router (with static IP address), which uses NAT to pass
various stuff around.

I have just bought a Firewall/Router (DLink DFL-700), which I would like to
place between the ADSL router and the network.

So my questions:

Do I need to configure the ADSL router as a bridge connection? If so,
should I then configure the WAN side of the firewall with the static IP
(provided by the ISP) that was originally with the ADSL router?

If I configure the ADSL Router as a bridge connection, will all my NAT
settings be invalidated (which is what I would really like), or should I
remove all the NAT settings by hand?

If I configure the ADSL Router as a bridge connection, will it lose it's LAN
IP address, and so I will no longer be able to configure it using the
routers Web UI?

Thanks for any advice.
