broadband with wireless network

    this is just wreckin me head.
    I have the Esat BB modem (Zyxel 600 series) and i have a wireless broadband router (Linksys wrt54g). I want to do the obvious (BB over the wireless network) but just cant get it to work. Is there any one that can give me a quick step through on what i should have to do?

    Here is what i have done so far
    1. Set up BB as normal (i reset it as well incase there was some weird settings) DHCP is enabled on the modem
    2. Plugged the ethernet cable from the modem into the internet port of the Wireless router. Connected to Wireless router admin tool and set the internet connection type to DHCP.

    Now i was just thinking both the modem and the router have the same IP 192.168.1.1 but I dont think this will casue a conflict?

    What should i do next?

    when i was setting up the BB modem in the wizard i set it as a bridge.
    then in my wireless router i set it internet connection type as PPPoE put in my logon details. and set the router operating mode as a gateway.

    thats what i did in a nutshell
