Our network is setup as follows:

DSL modem --> Sonicwall Firewall/Router --> 24-port 10/100/1000Base-T
Switch --> [cat5 to each workstation]

Currently we are trying to install a WAP in one of our offices to
provide our on site programmer with the ability to send/receive data
from a Dell Axim PDA to any of our workstations. The WAP is a Linksys
WRT54G which happens to double as a 4-port switch. Our mission is to
replace the 4-port hub we currently have in that office with this
WAP/switch.

As of right now the WAP/switch is hooked up to a Cat5 wall outlet
properly and my laptop, the programmer's laptop, and the PDA can all
ping the WAP. All wireless devices can also ping the other two
workstations hard wired into the ports on the switch. So basically, any
and all devices contained in that specific office can talk to each
other fine.

Where the problem lies is in the fact that we cannot connect to any of
the workstations outside of that office.

Any suggestions?

One of the 4 switch ports on the WAP needs to be connected to the main
switch.
