Brian,
I have a similar setup. Configure the WRT45G as an access point. It doesn't need to be a router. Turn on the DHCP on the D-Link and let the WRT45G get its setup from the D-Link. Turn off the DHCP on the WRT45G and let the D-Link's DHCP serve all the devices whether wired or wireless. If you need a device to have a static address, set it.

I have an existing wired network (D-Link DI-704P) that I wish to add a wireless (Lynksys WRT54G) to. The currentl plan is to leave the existing wired network in place (currently in the basement, below ground level) and mount the wireless router on the main floor. I'm having some difficulty getting the wireless router onto the net. So, a short history: Verified internet connection by one of the wired computers Good wireless connection between the router and my laptop The wired router "sees" the wireless as evidenced by the lights on the wired router I've got a little bit of networking understanding, probably just enough to be dangerous. :) The DHCP on the wired router is turned off, and static IP address have been assigned. The IP address of the wireless has been changed, and added to the wired router to allow access, as well the mac address has been added. I have set the gateway for the wireless router to the IP address of the wired router, the subnet mask is the same, and I've entered DNS numbers as well to no avail. Somewhere I have it configured wrong. Any and all ideas greatly appreciated.
