I set up my D-Link Di-614+ wireless router the same way without any 
problem. 
Make sure that the local IP address that you are assigning is being 
assigned to the LAN side and not the WAN side.  Make sure that DHCP 
_Server_ is disabled on the LAN side as well (not the DHCP client on the 
WAN side).

As for 2.4GHz cordless phones, our Spread Specturm Uniden 2.4GHz phones 
plays well with both my Linksys and D-Link 802.11b WAPs.  The only 
problem that we have is that we do get a small bit of popping on certain 
channels on the phone when we're near one of the WAPs.  No noticeable 
degradation of connection on the WiFi.
