Mixed Network

I have an existing phoneline modem network with 4 PCs.
One of the PCs (SERVER), which is connected to my cable
modem (via a NIC), acts as the server and provides
Internet sharing to the other 3.

I am attempting to add a Wireless Router between my cable
modem and the SERVER PC, and install a wireless adapter to
one of the other PCs. I want to keep the 2 other PCs on
the phoneline network and share the Internet connection
through the SERVER PC.

I am unable to communicate to the wireless router unless I
disable the Internet sharing capability on the SERVER PC.
After setting up the wireless router, I am unable to
reestablish the Internet sharing. I get an error message
that says the Internet sharing IP address has already been
taken by another network device (I assume the wireless
router).

Please let me know if the network I have described is
possible, and the method of setting up the wireless router
and/or Windows XP Pro on my Server PC.
