Cable and wireless network problem

Hello,

here´s my problem, I hope some one can help me.

I have 5 computers in my homenetwork. They have a shared internet
connection via a Sitecom 8 ports broadband router with DHCP. Everything
works well. One of the computers though is a laptop and I´d like to have
that one wireless, so I bought a Sweex wireless router.
I connected the Sweex wireless router on the Sitecom broadband router
via the uplink port in the WAN-port of the wireless router. The browser
address to configure the Sitecom router is 192.168.62.1. I gave the
laptop a fixed IP-address (192.168.62.2) so no two DHCP servers are in
my network. I set the default gateway on 192.168.62.1 which is the
IP-address of the wireless router.
On my laptop I can see that the signal is excellent but I can´t ping my
wireless router with ping 192.168.62.1 (Page cannot be found) to
configure the wireless router...
My Sitecom router ´sees´ the wireless router and gives it the IP-address
192.168.0.8 with DHCP.
My questions are: what is the default gateway for the wireless router?
Is that the IP-address of the Sitecom router (192.168.0.1), the
IP-address the wireless router gets from my Sitecom router (192.168.0.8)
or the IP-address by default from the wireless router (192.168.62.1)?
Why is it not possible to ping the wireless router and configure it with
my browser?
Do I have to make a networkbridge in my laptop or is that not necessary?

I hope someone can help me.

Why? All you needed was an access point, then you can just connect to
your existing network in the same way as you do with a cable.

As a test, to see where the problem lies, disconnect your Seex router
from your existing network. Does that cure or solve anything? Also,
have you got the settings for the wireless card set correctly and is
there any firewall software running on the laptop?
