I have the linksys wrt54gl with dhcp disabled... Then i have my domain controller (server 2003) connected to the linksys and set as the dhcp server...
All the PCs have joined the domain and get their ip from the DC and internet works fine on the LAN area.
Now If i have a laptop that i just need internet acces... I cannot get an ip when i try to connect to my wireless network through the linksys router...

So how do i enable internet access on the wireless side?

Put A static IP and the Router's core IP as the DNS/Gateway.

So theres noway to make it connect automatically with my current setup? They use their laptops at office and at their homes too so I didnt want to mess up with static ip addresses... coz they dont know how to change it back... totally clueless when it comes to PCs....

Check if the Linksys does DHCP forwarding. If it does, put in the IP of the Windows DHCP server in it. If it doesn't support it, that router can take DD-WRT, tomato, openwrt, etc. which should support DHCP forwarding in AP mode.
