Wireless and wired computers don't get along

Hi all,

I have a simple problem, although the solution may or may not be so simple. Not so long ago I bought a Linksys WAP11 wireless access point for my new laptop. The AP is plugged into my router into which 2 other wired computers are also connected. Trouble is, when the AP is on the wired computers can't get online at all. Even the laptop has trouble. The activity light on the router is always on, not flashing as much as you would expect, and the activity lights for the ports where the wired computers are connected flash in sync with the wireless AP, suggesting that the AP is hogging all the ports, even though it is being told to use a specific IP. Any ideas?

Please help, I'm seriously stuck,

Matt
