Advice needed for complicated SOHO wireless and wired network.

I am having difficulties getting different segments of my network talking to each other. My hardware setup is thus:
device 1: Toshiba 1100 cable modem...connected via crossover cable to...
device 2: Webramp 700s 10 base t router flashed to a SonicWall with unlimited users, VPN enabled, etc., etc.,WAN side DHCP enabled and DNS from the cable co. LAN side DHCP disabled connected via crossover cable to...
device 3: Linksys 2.4 Ghtz wireless router WAN side DHCP off fixed IP on the WAN pointed to Webramp as the gateway, LAN side giving DHCP to all wired clients inside a 100 address structured subnet that need it as well as having fixed IPs on the same subnet for all the wireless units.
The wired units connect to the linksys via an 8 port 3COM Office Connect 10/100 switch.
There is a Netgear wireless print server (wired as well) connected to the 3COM switch.

Thge problem is set up this way the wireless can get everything fine but the hub connected wired machines get DHCP when needed for the LAN but cannot ping the SonicWall gateway machine nor get to the internet. I can give the wired machines fixed IPs connect the switch to the sonicwall and the internet works, but they cannot ping the linksys nor talk to the wireless machines on their subnet.

I need the sonicwall in the loop to do safe VPN to remote access other servers, so it has to stay in the loop.

Obviously I'm missing something and have lost the ability to step back and see the problem clearly.

Any thoughts??

Thanks...
