    Ok I have been having trouble with my dsl, and wired linksys being able to host my linksys wireless G access point router. So what I am trying to do is hook up my dsl+wired router+wireless access point router all together. I can hook up the dsl and wired router fine. But hooking up the hub to a port on the wired router doesn't work. I have done this before with cable internet, wired router, and a wireless one with tons of stuff I had to go through. But cannot find the directions online I had last time.

    That's sort of the reverse how one would want to do it because that would put the wireless network inside your firewall, on your LAN. The router doesn't help much except for threats coming through the DSL wire.

    In any case, try logging in to your WAP and setting a static IP address within the netblock that your router uses i.e. 192.168.1.x, as long as x is not 0, 1 or 255 or another reserved IP address. You should have connectivity with other PCs (though firewalls or having file and print sharing turned off may prevent access.)
