The wrt54g then issues local IP address, 192.1.0.x range to clients behind it.

Sorry for the late reply. I have my setup working fine now. The modem uses PPPoE.

I was advised to set the modem as a DHCP server and the WRT54-GL DHCP server feature set to off. The PC is connected to one of the WRT54-GL LAN ports. Another of the WRT54-GL LAN ports is connected to the modem. The WRT54-GL Uplink port is not used.

The WRT54-GL IP was changed to 192.168.1.254 from the default 192.168.1.1.
