Connecting Two Routers with File Sharing

[jkuncheria]

I have one router (first) connected to the Internet and another router
(second) connected to the first. I set it up as described on
http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/Sections-article51-page3.php

I've disabled the second router's DHCP server and the connection b/w
the two routers is from LAN port to LAN port. All computers are on the
same subnet as reflected by ip addresses & subnet masks. All PCs are in
the same workgroup and WinXP firewalls on all computers are off.

So the problem I am having is that computers on the first router can
see (via My Network Places) computers on the second router, but not
vice versa. Similarly computers on the second router cannot ping the
first, but in the opposite direction it works.

Despite all this... I can access the Internet fine on all computers.
Any idea how I can solve this problem to be able to share?

Try deleting the arp cache on all computers:

netsh interface ip delete arpcache

You didn't explain how to do this.....what the heck is "netsh interface ip
delete arpcach" supposed to mean? Is this a dos command? if so, how do I get
to dos to enter it?
