connecting two linksys routers together

[chuck clark]

Hi,
I am adding to my existing lan at home. My current setup is as follows.
Cable modem feeds into my linksys BEFSR41 (router A). I have 3 winXP
computers connected to router A, all can access the internet and each
other's shared folders and a shared printer.
I have a new roommate and we want to add his linksys BEFW11S4 wireless
router (router B) to the set up. He has a winXP desktop wired
directly to
router B and a notebook that will connect wirelessly to router B.
I connected a standard ethernet cable from the Uplink on Router A to the
WAN on Router B.
From here we are lost, we have run the network setup assistant many times
and tried changing various settings, both on Router B and with windows.
Can someone please explain exactly what we should do to get router B
working correctly with my network?

Any help is appreciated,
Chuck

Use the BEFW11S4 only. If you need to expand the network then use the
BEFSR41 -DHCP disabled- as a switch.

FYI: The reason it wasn't working the way you were trying it was that you
should have used a normal port instead of an uplink port. Extra attention
would also need to be paid to IP addresses:

reference: /24 indicates a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0

WAN-[ISP assigned IP] BEFSR41 [192.168.0.1/24]-LAN-[192.168.0.2/24] BEFW11S4
[192.168.1.1/24]-LAN

In the above configuration computers within the 192.168.1.0 LAN can access
resources within the 192.168.0.0 LAN, but computers within the 192.168.0.0
LAN cannot access resources within the 192.168.1.0 LAN.
