Though some may advise against turning off the gateway firewall, the fact that I hacve 2 software firewalls, plus the only way to find my gateway wirelessly is to enter the specific name and password for it on the device, makes it pretty safe.
If you don't have problems with your 2Wire firewall, then ignore everything I just said, if you do and wish to keep the gateway firewall enabled, then contact Telus and Nintendo to help you through it.
Make sure you use the manual connection instructions from the 2Wire Website (for the DS), as the automatic connection will not work.

Their manual setup guide missed one crucial piece of info that I found on Nintendo's site - the PC, Wii and DS are now connected to the network flawlessly.
