What IP address ranges are handed out by the two routers?

I haven't tried this sort of setup before but I'm wondering if ADSL router has handed out an IP address (say 192.168.1.2) to the Wireless router - and that is confusing things because it has 192.168.1.2 as it's external IP and has also handed out 192.168.1.2 to one of the PCs connected to it. The router would then most likely be directing all internet requests to which ever poor machine has that IP as it's the same subnet.
