Vicki, The graphite ABS cannot be used as a bridge. The ethernet port on the station is designed only as an uplink to your DSL/Cable modem. New versions of the ABS -- "Snow" and "Extreme" -- have a dedicated WAN port that allows bridging. Having said that, there's several inexpensive alternatives these days (<$100) that you should be able to find at your local computer store that will allow you to bridge your network.
As a side note, if you run an 802.11b (11 mbps) base station or client on your 802.11g (54 mbps) network, it will cause the base station to revert to 802.11b (slower) speeds. To take full advantage of the 802.11g protocol, it's best to ensure that all clients are 802.11g capable and running in full 802.11g mode. HTH, -patch P.S.
