Using a Gateway / Router as a Switch

[Ralph Markham]

I have added another ethernet card to my primary Linux server, so I 
have one for DMZ and one for the Local network.  The problem is that I 
don't have a free port on my DLink gateway / router.   What I want to 
do, is use my old Linksys 4 port gateway / router as a switch off of 
the DLink.

I have set the linksys up with a static IP address, netmask of 
255.255.255.252, and in router mode.  This is not working.

Has anyone done anything similar and / or know how to make this work?  
Everything I know says it should be possible.


Thanks
