Static router assignments for a Linksys Cable/DSL Router

[SpaceRanger]

Hello everyone.

At home, I am trying to setup 2 Linksys routers to communicate with each other. Since we have 2 DSL lines coming into the house, we needed 2 routers to service everyone. On one router (IP: 10.50.1.1), I have 4 machines on it (using DHCP). On the second router (IP: 10.50.2.1) I have 3 machines off it as well (using DHCP). My goal is to have computers on the 10.50.2.x subnet be able to communicate with members of the 10.50.1.x subnet. I know the Linksys routers have static routing capabilities, but I don't understand how to properly configure them. Below is the info that they are requesting for a static route. Can anyone please help me with the settings.

Thank you..

Static Routing:

1: (Select Route entry)

Destination LAN IP: ...
Subnet Mask: ...
Default Gateway: ...
Hop Count
(Metric, max. is 15):
interface: LAN/WAN

Why don't you put everyone on the same 192.198.0.x net, and then set up each machine with the proper router for it's external gateway. This way everyone on the inside can see everyone else, and each user will go to it's appropriate router for it's connection to the outside world.

I wound up sidestepping the entire issue by doing the following..

I used a subnet of 255.255.252.0 for all machines.. This way all the 10.50.1.x can see the 10.50.2.x machines (and vice versa) without having to use the router. Each machine's gateway is configured for the router I want them to use..

Thanks for the suggestion though
