Default Some wireless issues

I'm trying to get our network here at work running smoothy, but I"m having some issues. The signal flow goes cable modem>sonic wall>linksys 8 port switch. Everything else is connected to the switch. Everything that is hard wired to the network is working flawlessly. We've got one wireless tablet right now. We're using a linksys wap11 that is connected to the switch. We were having some problems with the connection so I upgraded the card in the tablet to a belkin g adaptor and bought a belkin g wireless router. To get the belkin to work, I had to set it up as an access point. I could then connect to it and get to the internet but it wouldn't see the network. So I hooked the linksys back up and could get on the network but not the internet. I brought my laptop in this morning just to double check everything with another machine. Just to mention the tablet is running 2k and the laptop is running xp. Well, the laptop connected to the linksys right away. It wouldn't access the internet or see the network although it was connected. Then after about 2 min. it started seeing the network. I was able to look at the network, print, etc. Still no internet. So just to test I hooked up the belkin to see what it was getting. It connected to the belkin but couldn't get on the internet or see the network. So I hooked the linksys backup and couldn't do either one now. However I did install the coreims softare, the software that runs the inventory system where I work, on the laptop and was able to access the server through this, but still couldn't print because it didn't see the network. So once I went back to the linksys after using the belkin I couldn't see the network, and at no point was I able to get on the internet. Any ideas? I'm lost here. Thanks.

BTW, I checked the settings on one of the computers that was hardwired and except for the ip address and the physical address, everything else was the same. All machines are set to automatically obtain ip address.

Default Troubles

Sounds like an IP issue. As the Belkin is a router it may not pass local network details through the WAN port. Also make sure the IP subnet on the belkin is not the same as the subnet on your local network as it won't route traffic. Just check your ip addresses, gateway and DNS information and make sure they are all getting the correct info.
