Please help me connect two routers!!!

[yarzy]

Okay, here is what I am tackling tomorrow morning. I am going to try to connect two routers, one a linksys and the other a d-link. Right now, everyone is using the linksys fine. People can log into the NT domain and get the internet flawlessly. If I plug the dlink into it, I can get to the internet fine, but I can not get to the server at all. How do I route it so that I can get to the server and internet wirelessly just like everyone else. I am sure I need to set up IP’s etc, but I have no idea where to start. Can you guys PLEASE help me!?! Thank you so much!!!!

Comparing the previous router settings to the new one, do the clients have the same DNS server settings? (run ipconfig /all)

What is the range of IP addresses on each router?
The problem is that each router creates it's own network. You may have to setup routing tables.

like cyclist1110 said, I would turn DHCP off (assuming your using it) on the new router. You just want the new router to act like a hub as you wont be needing a second router.

Ok, I run this setup with a Belkin 802.11b and Belkin 802.11g router. The thing to do is to make sure to plug the internet from the 1st router into just a LAN port of the 2nd router...not the WAN port because it thinks the WAN is an outside network and blocks any communication from the outside on it.

Then you need to assign the 2nd router to get a static IP from the 1st router. Then for the DNS you can leave it on getting it automatically or typing in the first router's IP address.

Now on the 2nd router disable DHCP so it doesn't lease any IP addresses. Then change the 2nd router's IP address so it is on the same subnet as the first router (ie., the first router's IP is 192.168.2.1 make the second router's IP 192.168.2.2).

Now your second router is acting as a hub and not NAT'ing.
