How to turn WRT54G into access point

Ok. So I just moved into my new apartment. The lan worked fine. I
decided I'd hook up my wireless router to the port to add wireless to
the place. That didn't work. It became clear that my land lord when
setting up this town house turned multi apartment complex split the one
dsl connection with a router of his own. Hence my wrt54g has to be
turned into an access point in order for this to work.

Now I've had trouble turning the wrt54g into an accesspoint. I know I
have to do three things. Doing them however has been problematic. I
have to disable the DHCP server, plug the lan line into a port other
than the wan, and set up a static IP.

What I don't know is what to enter into the following three fields:

1) Internet IP Adress
2) Subnet Mask
3) Gateway

Step by step assistance would be greatly apreciated! Thanks!

Leave all of these blank. These are all for the WAN(internet) port,
which you are not using and have nothing connect. You can put
whatever you want in there including blanks, zeros, or garbage, and
the access point functions will not be affected.
