Home Networking

[Guest]

Hello, I have two Routers One D-Link and one Linksys. I have static IP
addresses and over time I have had these PC's, all Home XP, In various places
for reasons of the same. I have never had a network that was on either side
of the other's Router. I can have a Network on D-Link as well as one on
D-Link but never shall the two meet the other's Comp's. Right now I have new
things happening and I needed to get the old PC's aswell as the new ones
online. I have the Linksys DHCP and it is uplinked to the D-Link, which is
getting it's Address from the Linksys. All PC's get internet and can be
networked with each router. How do I get through the routers so they can all
see each other, not just what is connected to that particular router?

Darnko,

Your description is kind of confusing, so I'm not sure how each router is
connected to the other, but you can make one router into a switch, and have the
computers connected to that router get DHCP service and Internet service from
the other router. This article should explain:
