2 different networks under 2 routers...

[swatoa]

OK, here's the deal. I've got a D-Link wireless router connected to a linksys router, which is then connected to the modem. I am under the D-link wireless with a dynamic IP (192.168.0.xxx) and I cannot see anyone under the linksys router, who gives out IPs in the range of (192.168.1.xxx). I assume the problem lies around the IPs having a different..."form", for the lack of a better word (what word is it?).

My question is, what do to make this network one single network, so I can see people under the other router? Is static IP the only solution? What about changing the subnet mask to 255.255.0.0 - and where would I change it?

Thanks, I can clarify if this is confusing. I am sort of tired.

The simple way is to turn off DHCP on the second one, set it's fixed address to 192.168.1.xxx+1. Connect them together using the LAN ports, and leave the WAN port unconnected on the second router. You can then use it's address to configure the wireless options...

BTW, the 192.168.x.x address are private LAN addresses, there is no security risk in putting your real address here. FWIW, almost every router assigns itself to the x.x.x.1 address anyway, so it's no mystery.
