Rendezvous behind router?

Alright, well...
I am at college right now, and everything here is assigned by DHCP. Whenever I connect my PB straight into the wall, Rendezvous works as well as iTunes music sharing. Whenever I connect my wireless router, and I connect wirelessly, it does not function anymore. Even enabling DMZ does not solve this.

Any suggestions as to what could be up, or what is wrong?
I am using a Linksys Wireless G router by the way.

Thanks guys.

To simplify how rendezvous works it automatically can tell who's one the same network by IP addresses. Since when you log in to the wall, you and many others are on the same IP block, rendezvous knows you're on the same network. When you add the router, then your computer's IP is different so now it assumes that only those also on the router with you are part of your network...

Any way to avoid this? Or perhaps change the block of IP's which it looks at?
