Question : Several routers one internal ip range...

My current network setup:
Time Warner Business Class Cable modem (one static ip) connects to a gateway box running ClarkConnect gateway services (Linux firewall, VPN, email, DHCP, DNS, etc server).
The linux gateway box has two nics (one in and one out) and connects to a 5 port wired switch and is a DHCP server.
I have one port on the wired switch connecting to a development server (Dell PowerEdge) running Windows Server 2003 and IIS (this box is assigned 192.168.0.80).
I have one port on the switch connecting to a Linksys WRT54gs wireless router connected to the uplink port (the router is in Gateway mode and is assigned an ip in the 192.168.0.155-255 range).
I have several laptops and a Mac connecting to the web via wireless and each machine is assigned an ip addresses in the 192.168.1.x range.

I need all of my machines to be in the 192.168.0.x range for development purposes so I need to bypass the wireless routers DHCP services.

I was thinking I could just unplug from the uplink port on the wireless router and plug into one of the available wired ports and set the wireless router to "routing" mode and then the wireless router would act more like a switch... this did not work out so well.

I am a developer and I am networking retarded as you can tell... help me please.

Answer : Several routers one internal ip range...

I may have not understood correctly, but you can use the same public ip address to have a situation like the following:

public ip address 67.88.192.54


1.  forward 67.88.192.54  to 192.168.0.2 (wireless router)
2.  from 192.168.0.2 (wireless router) forward all traffic on tcp 21 to 192.168.1.100 (mac) ---> for ftp service
3.  from 192.168.0.2 (wireless router) forward all traffic on tcp 80 to 192.168.1.101 (webserver)
4.  from 192.168.0.2 (wireless router) forward all traffic on tcp 22 to 192.168.1.102 (ssh server)
5.  from 192.168.0.2 (wireless router) forward all traffic on udp 69 to 192.168.1.103 (tftp server)
6.  from 192.168.0.2 (wireless router) forward all traffic on tcp 3389 to 192.168.1.104 (Terminal server)
7.  from 192.168.0.2 (wireless router) forward all traffic on tcp 5900 to 192.168.1.105 (vnc server)
8.  etc....(but highly not recommended)

cheers
