Problem connecting to DNS-323 with Apple Airport Express

Hi,

Just bought a DNS-323.  My setup is as follows:

Comcast Cable Modem
D-Link EBR-2310 Router
D-Link 5 port Gigabit Switch
Apple Airport Express
DNS-323
MacBook Notebook

I have the Airport Express and the DNS-323 connected to the switch.  When I am hard wired into the LAN, I can connect to the DNS-323 just fine.  However, the problem is that I am never hard wired into the LAN .  I have an Apple Airport Express that I use for connectivity and music streaming to my stereo.  I can't seem to locate the DNS-323 on my network when I am connected to the Airport Express.  I tried IP Scanner and the IP addresses it finds are 1) my MacBook 2) Apple Network Router.  I'm a novice when it comes to networking, but my guess is that this is something to do with the Airport Express settings.  Can anyone assist?

Thank you
Conor

Re: Problem connecting to DNS-323 with Apple Airport Express

Found the problem.  It was what I expected.  The AE was acting as a router and using DHCP to assign IP addresses to any device connected.  Through the Airpot Admin Utility, I was able to turn off this feature.  It is under the "Network" tab and called "Distribute IP Addresses".  Now I just need to figure out how to assign Static IP Addresses...
