You can't get them to talk to each other until you setup their IP.

It sounds to me like you read the manual for the router, set it aside,
and now your trying to setup everything. Most companies (dlink,
linksys, netgear) provide very simple and easy to follow directions for
setting up. Just follow the directions step by step. There is a manual
for a reason.

If you need help with a specific problem or issue come on back and
provide as much detailed info as you can.
