Connecting to another network?

How can I go about getting network neighborhood to show shares from another network within my small WAN? I set up a route so I can now ping and jazz like that. The routers are both cheap (a linksys and d-link).

Does your question not provide its own answer. Network Neighborhood showing the content of a WAN.

No, I can ping, view the HTTP server, but not see the computer in the network neighborhood. I can't access the computer (or it's shares) at all in the normal fashion.

Do you actually have a Wide Area Network as stated?

Yes. I have a network cable running from a LAN port on the first router, to the WAN port on the second router.

Join the network(s) by eliminating the router function of the second router. Just use the switch portion as a cascaded network will solve the problem. In other words, the second router is using its firewall against you in the same way it works for the "outside" world. You may need a crossover cable between the router and the switch to make this work.

It is a cheap cheap D-link, do they have the ability to turn out of the routing ability? And if so, does that remove the wireless capabilities?

The routing capability is associated with the WAN port. The hub/switch ports are just that. The difference between an uplink port and any other is the probable need to use a crossover cable to make transmit to receive connections. Some can auto sense the need and do the crossover electronically. The wireless is associated with the hub/switch ports. What model is the router?

It is a D-Link DI-514.
So if I hooked them up via a crossover into a LAN port, it'll then act as a switch, AND still provide wireless capabilities?

What are the SSID names for the two networks? The solution may be as simple as having the same name in both. The Wizard says it is possible.

Aren't SSID's only on wireless networks? One router (the D-Link) has wireless capabilities. The other does not.
Thanks for all the help BTW!

Sounds to me like you have to set up a trust relationship between both networks/domains. Then, add users accordingly to the necessary workgroups that need to access these files located on another network. Since you can ping, but cannot view, that's my guess.
