You haven't given me enough information about your existing network or the device you are connecting to the DWL. Basically, you need to configure the DWL to use the same channel, SSID, encryption, and authentication as your existing network. Then you need to make sure the DWL is on the same subnet as your existing network. The easiest way to do these things is to use a computer with an ethernet NIC to connect directly to the DWL. Assign a static IP address of 192.168.0.10 to this computer with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Connect an ethernet cable to the RJ45 on the computer and the RJ45 on the DWL. Now enter the default IP address for the DWL (192.168.0.30) in your web browser. This connects you to the web based configuration tool for the DWL. From there you can configure the channel, SSID, encryption, and authentication and then either assign a static IP from the same subnet as your network or set it to use DHCP (dynamic addressing). Now you can disconnect the computer from the DWL and connect whatever ethernet device you want. Getting wireless stuff communicating isn't that difficult but you have to make sure every setting matches.
If you are still having troubles you can give me more details and I'll see what I can come up with.
Good luck.
