I basically have the following fictional topology:



I have access to [Router 2] but not to [Router 1].

Currently, [Router 1] has a port forwarded to the IP [192.168.1.2].
[Router 1] has a static IP for the PC labeled [192.168.1.2] based on the MAC.

Now [Router 2] has been introduced. How do I still get the information to be forwarded to the [192.168.1.2] machine.

I hope that makes sense.

Thanks.
 
Why are you using two routers? You should really just be using a switch. Anyway, you can use the 2nd router simply as a switch - just don't plug anything into the WAN port on it and disable DHCP on it. It'll then simply act as a switch and get IPs via DHCP from the first router.
 
By WAN, I assume you mean the Internet port.

I am using two routers as i don't have a switch available.

Thanks.

EDIT:

Working Now....thanks!
