ok here's the deal
i have several computers hook up in my house via routers, both wired and wireless. i recently expanded my network by adding another router so computers in my office and bedrooms could link. all the computers have no problem accessing the internet but the ones hooked up to the other router cant recognize the computers on the first router via the network.
Just to clarify my setup:
i have my dsl modem plugged in to the internet port on a belkin wireless g plus mimo router, which i have three computers ran off of and they connect to each other ok
then off of the 4th open port on the belkin i have a cable that runs to the internet port on a network everywhere nr-041 cable/dsl routher, which has three computers ran on it.
the computers on each router can connect to each other but do not recognize the computers on the other router. the network setting match exactly on all the computers and they all connect to the internet just fine.
is there anyway to make the computers all connect on the same network.
thanks in advance for your help.

I'm not sure why you are using a router to connect these computers... instead of a switch?

If you want the computers on both the router to be on the same network.
step 1)disable the dhcp in the second router.
step 2)make sure the ip address of the second router is in the same network as the router 1
step 3)connect a cable from lan of router 1 to lan of router 2.
here the router 2 will act as a switch.

Then all the computers on both the router should be able to communicate.

i am using a router because that is what i had sitting around and am trying not to buy any new hardware. eventually i think i will just make all the computers wireless.

thanks L8ians i will try that and see if i can get it to work.

Saving money I can understand....
L8ians' solution should work. He's basically having you use the switches built into the routers.

all the best,

Nice trick. I was thinking the same.

How did the user finally fix the problem?
