Connecting Networks Together

I was using a Netgear router, an RP114, to share my DSL connection, but I bought a Linksys Wireless-B Access Point with Built-in 4-port Router so that I can connect a laptop using a wireless NIC. Anyways, I have my network set-up like this:

Linksys Router ---> Computer A
---> Computer B
---> Computer C
---> Netgear RP114 ---> Computer D
---> Computer E

Computers D and E are able to connect to the internet and both can "see" each other in the network, but Computers A, B, and C are in a different network. A, B, and C can't see D or E, and D and E can't see A, B, or C. I am using the same Workgroup name in all computers. Each one has a different name. How can I connect these two separate networks together?

The first router won't be able to see the two computers after the second router. If you just remove that router and use a hub or switch instead, it will see through those and still give you the added ports.

All you needed was the WAP11 wireless access point without the router. Connect it to your Netgear. If you don't have enough ports you need to add a switch.
