Hi,

At my house we have a small network setup, and it works great! The only problem I have is that my airport station is hooked up to the router and I can access the internet and all, but I can not access the other computers on the network even thou they are sharing stuff. Also if I plug in the ethernet cord that goes into the station to my PBook I can see the other computers on the network.

i.e: I have wireless internet access but no networking or communication with other PCs wirelessly...but if I plug in to the router via ethernet I can see the network...

any suggestions?

You need to disable the "Distribute IP Addresses" on the Airport Admin Util's Network tab, so it serves IP addresses from the router. I'd also connect a dual-ethernet ABS to the router via the ABS's LAN port rather than it's WAN port. (my similar setup here)
