Default Experience with Linksys WAP54G and WRE54G (Repeater)

Hi -
I recently picked up a linksys basestation and router and linksys
repeater (my three story house has too much stone and tile to support
just the wap's signal). I have the wap behind an SMC Barricade router
(for the print server). When I set up the WAP, I couldn't figure out
how to keep it from assigning addresses (I'd prefer that the Barricade
assign addresses). But it still works. The problem occurs when I plug
in the repeater. First, I tried to configure the repeater the way
linksys recommends - but of course that doesn't work. Then I just
pushed the magic "autoconfigure" button on the repeater and it seemed
to work - at least for a little while. Unfortunately, without fail,
whenever I plug the repeater in the whole network goes down shortly
afterwards. It continues to go down every 1 or 2 minutes. Any
suggestions or experience using this repeater?
Thanks -
Matt
