Just got the WRE for my Xbox 360 but I am having problems

Hello everyone, I just got my first WRE today. I auto configured it and I now have 2 solid blue lights. I have a Linksys Wireless-G Cable Gateway Model # WCG200-CC. Im getting four full green bars in my room, but it has the same SSID as my other network is that how its supposed to be? When I test my Xbox Live connection it says the IP address failed, so i am guessing there is something wrong? I have been reading about fixes and have read something about a static IP address. Do I need to set this and if so how? I have no idea what I am doing whatsoever since this is my first WRE, so any detailed help is much appreciated.
EDIT: I forgot to say it was a version 3 WRE.

when you autoconfigure the wre54g, it will actually copy the settings of the ap nearest to it except if there is security settings configured on the ap.
not much familiar with xbox live cause im more of a psp addict
anyway, if xbox 360 has some sort of an ssid scanner, it should see the 2 same ssids but it should see the mac address of the ap and the expander as well. if you applied wireless security on your wcg200, you should set the same security settings on the wre54g. then try reconnecting to the expander again. if the wcg and wre synchronized then there's no need for you to assign a static ip on your 360.
