I used to have my router working that way on my Origo router before I
got a /29.  This is known as PPP Half-Bridged mode.  The router would
lease it's WAN IP address to the firewall.  I had this working for a
long time on IPCop, then I switched to m0n0wall where it worked for
quite a while.  I then started having problems, switched back to NAT
mode on the router and then applied for a /29.

Never tried it on a D-Link.  I did have a DSL-500T for a short while but
that didn't even support half-bridged mode so I swapped it for the
Origo.

HTH,
