Connecting VPN Router with a WAP Router

I have a branch office that uses both wireless and wired connections and we're putting in the RV042 VPN Router by Linksys/Cisco. How do I connect the BEFW11S4 WAP and the RV042 Router? I am not sure where to even start with what connects to which port and who handles the DHCP and static settings, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Matt

Let me get one thing straight first.. I plug in a cable from one of the four switched ports on the back of the RV042 to the uplink port on the WAP Router?

Is there something special i have to do to get the other subnets workgroup to show up in Microsoft Windows Network?

Thanks,

Got it! Agressive mode was grayed out on one (but checked) so I just checked it on the other and it connected.

Thanks for all the help, once again :)

That's a NetBios thing. Here's a good document that explains how browsing works across a WAN. VPN tunnel is same as a WAN.
