First, the dir-655 is a great device. Good buy.
If you can get the cabling to work I would just connect all my devices to it directly (i.e. the dish player, the blu ray, the sling box, as well as the vt2442 ata through its blue internet port).
If that doesn't work, either because you don't have enough ports on the dir or because you don't want to run all those cables, then you can just add a new switch at that end of the house and plug everything into that switch (including the dir-655 to form a bridge).. if you didn't go with gig-e then it would be a choke-point for the dir-655 but I highly doubt you're using that kind of bandwidth capacity anyhow.
As a compromise you can use the 2442 as both the ATA and that "new switch". You'll just need to run 2 cables to the 2442 from the dir-655. Plug one into the blue internet port - the ata will use that one for Voip traffic. and plug the other one into one of the 4 lan ports.. Then you need to go into the console on the 2442 and disable the DHCP server. (http://www.vonage-forum.com/ftopic16516.html seems to show how to do that). Once you've done that any device you plug into the other lan ports will be bridged with the dir-655 and everything will live on the same subnet and happiness will ensue. If you neglect to turn off that DHCP server there won't be any happiness.

Read The Full Thread: need setup help with Motorola VT2442 through D-Link Dir-655
• Is there anyone here who might be able to help me? I do not know very much about networking.
• The problem is that anything you place behind the Motorola is on a different subnet
• Does the 2442 not have a switch built in? Ok, the Dir-655 is in the home office with
• yes it does. The LAN ports all comprise a switch. The internet port is different.
• OK, plugged the laptop into the 2442 and disconnected from the wireless network
