Well, in theory you should be able to simply connect the wireless router to
one of the ports on the linksys with straight-thru cable. I'm not sure how
that will affect your subnets though because it may try to assign it's own
ips, but you want all ips to come from one place (the linksys). Basically,
you want the wireless router to act like a switch, not a router.
run ipconfig /all on each pc to make sure they are all on same subnet and
they should then be able to see each other.
Good luck.
