Wired and wireless router cascaded - Home networking disabled

[Guest]

Configuration:
Cable Modem > Linksys 4-port Ethernet Router
Port 1: PC1 - XP Pro w. local printer
Port 2: PC2 - XP Media Center
Port 3: PC3 – XP Pro
Port 4: LAN cable connects to Netgear wireless 802.11b.
From there hardwired, don’t have a wireless card for my desktops.
Port 1: PC3 - XP Pro
Port 2-4: empty

Problem:
PC1, PC2 and PC3 can do file & printer sharing among each other.
Since PC4 moved from Port 3 of the wired router to Port 1 of the wireless
router it is isolated from the other 3 PC’s including printer sharing, but
can access the web.
How can I connect PC4 with the other 3?

AntiVirus, Firewalls, Zonealarm, Winpatrol, are disabled, file & printer
sharing enabled.

You want to switch the wireless box from "router" mode to "bridging"
mode. Make sure the router connected to cable access stays in router mode.
