Canon Pixma MP620 printer wireless install problem

I am having a crazy time trying to install a wireless connection between my Canon Pixma MP620 printer and my Dell Inspiron 1545 with Vista.

I already have a WiFi connection in my dorm room, so I am using my D-Link DIR-615 router solely for the purpose of printing wirelessly to my new Canon Pixma. Sort of like a printer server.

But when I start installing the Canon software to set up my wireless LAN, the software locks up the computer, just before it gets to the point of searching for the WAP and the IP address.

I've tried to reinstall the software a half-dozen times. The USB cable is connected from the computer to the printer, just as instructed. The software says that the printer software is loaded, and then the computer cursor freezes, just before the next step of setting up the wireless connection.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
