The setup like that is kind of goofy. I bought a WRK54G/WPC54G combo from Wal-Mart (mistake, I know), and it worked fine. It replaced my Linksys 8-port router. Anyways, I kept that 8-port wired unit, thankfully. Here's how it all breaks down.

Cable Modem -->
Linksys BFSR81 8-port wired router -->
Port 1: Wired XP machine
Port 3: Wired W2K machine
Port 8: Uplink to WRK54G router -->

Laptop runs off of the WRK54G. It worked fine for a little bit. Then all of a sudden...I made NO changes, and the it no longer worked.

I've tried other ports on the wireless router, and no dice. I can't even get in to it right now to see settings.
