In what order are you connecting them? DSL -> Wireless -> wired or DSL -> wired -> wireless?
Whichever is at the end should be set as a "dummy switch" and the router functionality turned off, or you need to be sure that the first device is passing through all of the DNS information to the last device. You might also try not using the "external" network port on the router and just use the normal out ports to connect everything.
