If your WAP is a router, you'll have to plug the CAT 5 into one of its LAN jacks, not its WAN jack. You're emasculating the router in that box.
The WAP is just a WAP which is what the XP box uses to get to the rest of the network (and the DSL router). The XP box is also on the second LAN with the linux box and the linux box want access to the router (via XP box onto wifi of off wifi onto LAN off LAN onto DSL).

I know the DSL router is doing NAT as it says so on the settings. I have not notice NAT on the WAP and as for finding it on the XP box... (let's just say I don't think it is).

If LAN1 and LAN2 used the same subnet say LAN1 had 10.0.0.1-199 and LAN2 had the rest would this simplfy things or be beside the point (networks are not my thing so it takes me a while to get my head arround them.)
