Setting up wireless bridge to a wired router

Hi guys, I just got a Xbox360 so now I have normal Xbox and a new one. Before I just had a wireless bridge connected to the Xbox and it works fine. Now that I have two systems that need internet access I want to connect the wireless bridge to a normal router and then connect both systems to it so I dont have to unplug and plug the cord in when I want to play one of them. Also there is a computer in the same room I would like to connect to the router.

What settings should I be looking for on the router? I'm not quite sure how I set it up to route the network through it. Is there a way for my wireless AP to give out IP addresses through the bridge and wired router or do I have to make the wired router give out IP addresses.

I know this can't be that hard, I'm just a little confused on how to do this. Heres a little diagram of my network right now.

Now heres what I want to do:

_____ wire
-------wireless

CableModem______Wireless AP_______Computer
////////////////////////////////////////|----------------------Bridge_____Wired router___Xbox 360
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////|__________Xbox

Any advice would be great 🙂
-Thanks


 
Sorry I wasn't clear enough...

The Wireless AP is a WirelessG Linksys router, off of that I have a computer wired and then I want to use my wireless bridge to connect a wired router. Then I could hook up the 2 Xboxs and a computer to the wired router.

Right now I just use a USB wireless adapter on the computer in the same room as the Xboxs.

Thanks for the link to the site, so far it has been helpful.
 
You shouldn't need an additional router -- a switch behind the bridge should be enough to connect all the clients.
