I have brought a new ADSL ethernet router which has 4 ethernet ports. When computers are connected directly to one of these ports, it works without any problems. When I use one of these ports to connect to another router (to host 5 computers), the computers on this router cannot connect to the Internet, but can access the ADSL Router at 192.168.1.1 When you access 192.168.1.1, you can see all the computers from the router under LAN settings Any Ideas? Thanks | |||||||||||||

Unless you understand what you're doing you should really only have 1
router and put a switch on one of the LAN ports to allow extra computers / devices to connect. Stacking routers requires some special understanding and a router that doesn't assume that 192.168.x.x will never need to get to the WAN port. | |||||||||||||

I do know that the Linksys WRT54G will run 10.x.y.z out its WAN port. I have one between my home wireless net and home wired net. Probably for the OP, though, stacking routers isn't needed. Unless you really want separate subnets, you probably don't want to do it. -- glen | |||||||||||||

Operating Mode is set to Gateway if it is attached to the Internet(WAN) directly. If it is behind another router, set it to Router Mode. I believe that way it will be on the same subnet, no double NAT and everything on the LAN is available as well as access to the Internet. I have no means to test this, but I do remember something vaguely that it would work that way, and the help implies that. HTH | |||||||||||||
