I cant seem to set up this network. Im using a hardwired linksys 8 port router, I tied a wrt54G using port one of the 8 port (uplink)allowing me a wireless option for more computers on the network. I configured them fine to share the broadband. I have one computer hardwired and one wireless on the wrt54, the other 7 are hardwired to the 8 port linksys. I cant view across the routers to share files. I can only share the one computer that is directly hooked to the wrt54 and the wireless one or the other 7 can share amongst themselves. I've exhausted all of my resources and linksys says they cant help me cause its a setting issue in windows. Im using windows xp pro and windows 2000 across the network. Any help would be greatly appreciated. shawn:(

You must connect the routers by their LAN ports and disable the DHCP service in one router (the WRT54G).
