Correct, the D-Link goes into the BT phone line, we've had the cable router from new

Yeah it goes from the ethernet port of the D-link into the Internet port of the Linksys (not Ethernet )

So I'd be good to go by just leaving it as a gateway? But still keeping it on the 192.168.2.x network and the D-link on the 192.168.1.x network? Because they both come default as 192.168.1.1 and wouldn't that cause problems?

I've just had a quick read through the manual and that setup seems fine. It makes the setup a little elaborate for a simple home network but the way cable routers work make it relativly straighforward way of chaining the two together.

Keep it set to gateway as you don't want Dynamic routing to take place, your Linksys will get enough information from the D-link to allow it to get traffic to the Internet (it just gets a single default route that says send all traffic for unknown networks to the D-Link) - and yes, leave them with one on 192.168.1.x and one on 192.168.2.x
