wouldn't the wireless access point need to be in bridge mode to get an ip from the dsl modem?

If I use wireless access point as well than wat would be its setting?
i don't understand your question. youj want to use the dsl modem and the wap as a dhcp server?
Yes, plug the DSL port into the LAN ports and disable DHCP on the Linksys box. I have done this for a number of folks! This should work fine.

In our office we are using 1 dsl modem and 1 wireless router on ground floor and 1 access point on upper floor. If I disable dhcp on wireless router and connect cable from dsl into the switch port of wireless router than wat would be the configuration on access point? will it take ip address from dsl?
Yes, the configuration above should work.
i wasn't sure or not if there was something particular that needed to be done on the wap to pass traffic from the dsl modem...otherwise, you wouldn't get an ip. am i wrong?
