I have a system very similar to the one described here, and I believe that 
Mikkel was one of the people that helped me get it set up.  The trick is to 
ignore the WAN side altogether on router B.  Use one of the LAN ports to plug 
it into the existing wired LAN.  My router A is 192.168.0.1 and router B is 
192.168.0.5.  I use fixed IP throughout. with DHCP being served outside 
the 'reserved addresses' for visiting laptops.  The gateway on everything 
must be set to 192.168.0.1 - the primary router address.  HTH.  Ask if I can 
give any more info.

Incidentally, both routers are using WPA-PSK, and my Acer laptop has no 
problems with it.
