In your desktop, setup a static IP of the LAN network. In your desktop DNS settings use the 4 DNS server entries in the same order as would be without the router. The procedure to log you on should work just the same. Once you are logged in, others in the LAN can use the net directly as they would in a router.
The whole point of having the router and DHCP is to avoid manual configuration. Unfortunately most routers support either 2 or at most 3 DNS server entries. If the DNS servers are correctly set in the router then theres no problem in logging in.
