It sounds like a DHCP issue. I have a Motorola modem into a linksys wired router into a linksys wireless router. However, this won't work "out-of-the-box", because both routers are configured to assign a NAT IP address by default. You either have to turn one off, or as I did.. assign a different subnet for the second router. I set the wired router to be 192.168.1.1 and the wireless router to be 192.168.25.1. This way, the signal comes in from Adelphia, hits the first router, which assigns 192.168.1.[2-5] to the four ethernet ports, one of which is the wire to the wireless modem. The wireless modem converts 192.168.1.[2-5] to 192.168.25.[2-5] and sends those IPs to the wireless computers. It's then just reverse-translated on the way out. I'm pretty sure it was only one configuration change in the wireless router to accoimplish this.
I suck at networking so I can't really tell you this is the most optimal way, but it worked for me.
