Hey everyone

Im struggling with this one, even though I managed to get it working a while a go.

Basically at Uni we have a wireless router for everyone in the house to connect to, I use linux for coursework and need a wired connection - I have a cable running from the wireless router to my room and would like to use my wired router so I can connect my desktop and laptop to the internet.

Wireless router is a Netgear WG614 router and my wired router is a RP614.

What some how got set up last year was one router had an IP address as normal on a netgear router of 192.168.1.1 and the other had 10.0.0.1, but at the moment I cant seem to get it to do the same thing again.

I cant seem to connect any computers connect to the wired router to connect to the internet.

Any ideas or help would be great
 
I tried disabling the DCHP and setting the ip address of the wired router to outside the range of the wirless router

so say wireless has IP range 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.51 I set the second router to 192.168.1.60 - 192.168.1.70 but had no luck and I tried it with the same and with different subnet masks but no luck either way :-(
 
Cheers csmager got it sorted as you mentioned.

I understand that I need a switch but I already had the second router from a previous purpose.

Thanks for your help guys
