Setup:
DSL --> Uplink on Linksys 4 port router --> 98 Machine --> Another Linksys 4 port router hooked onto one of the ports of the first Linksys 4 port router --> 2nd Linksys router feeds out to two XP pro machines.Now, dont ask why I have this setup, but, for some reason, it does not work.
I have SWB DSL, ppoe enabled on first router, disabled on the second. I am not sure what works, or how to setup the xp machines, so any response will be helpful.
Thanks
Jake
DSL Modem --> Router -->98 Client
-->Router--> Router-->2 XP ClientsWhy? Ooops! I can't ask why.
What do you mean "doesn't work"? Were do the pings die for each subnet?Do you have all your routes setup?
Are your routers providing DHCP?
Do you need 3 broadcast domains?Suggestion: Get ride of all the routers except the one attached to the DSL modem and use either switches or hubs.

hehe, yes I know it would be a lot easier, but I dont wanna have to go out and buy a 30 dollar hub when I already have 2 Routers that, well, maybe work.(One of my own, and one that is my brothers that he gave to me) I have one offering dhcp, the one connected to the modem/98 machine/other router. I can ping every computer, every router, but anything outside of that I cannot. . .hell, I just might have to go out and buy one, but I prefer not having to.

You probably need an x-over cable to go from router output port to router input port. The modem has an x-over switch built into it so you use a straight-through from it to the 1st router but you have to flip between routers. It should work because you're just creating subnets within your LAN - unnecessarily, I might add.

hmmm. . .I have to question you about the crossover cable. . .because I have gotten access before, but it will just quit when I try to connect the other XP machine. . .
If that is any help. . .
Also, should I put the two routers on different subnets? Set a router as a "router" or as a "gateway"?

So your entire internal network has connectivity - you can ping all devices on the network...so it's the Internet you can't get to? Do you have all the devices on the same subnet?
You might just be missing a Static route on the edge router...or maybe one of the routers on the inside isn't functioning properly. Have you tried switching a known good router for one of the misbehaving ones?

Two ways of doing this
(Switch only) :-)
Connect the 2 lan side together. Uplink port or xover cable.
Point all your gateways to the first router.
Make the second router's gateway like 192.168.1.250, wan port open.Second way. :-0
Static your first router's computers I address > 192.168.1.10
Point first router's computers to 192.168.1.1Allow the second router's
Wan gateway = 192.168.1.1
Wan Ip address=192.168.1.200
Lan gateway Ip address= 192.168.1.100
Point all second router's computers to 192.168.1.100
Router 1
dhcp start =192.168.1.10
computer 1a 192.168.1.10 dhcp
computer 1b 192.168.1.11 dhcp
computer 1c 192.168.1.12 dhcp
Computers gateway= 192.168.1.1
Gateway ISP =given
WAN ISP =given
LAN gateway=192.168.1.1Router 2
dhcp start = 192.168.1.2
computer 2a 192.168.1.2 dhcp
computer 2b 192.168.1.3 dhcp
computer 2c 192.168.1.4 dhcp
Gateway ISP= static 192.168.1.1
WAN ISP =static 192.168.1.200
LAN Gateway = 192.168.1.100
Computer gateway= 192.168.1.100I think that's all of it.
Got it now?Have fun.

Cool, Thanks all. . .I finally got it.
I just put them on the same subnet, made sure the routers had DIFFERENT ip addresses, disabled PPOE on the 2nd router, set the 2nd router to serve as a "Router" and not a "Gateway". Set 1st one to PPOE (for login) and as the gateway. Works great now.

That's very easy to connect between linksys router to linksys router...
this is what you have to do :
First off, as far as I know this only works with another linksys router, the newer the firmware the better, and they should both have the same firmware. If anyone can get two different company routers to work together, let us know. This is a little more tricky to do, but since both routers contain 100mbit/sec switches the speed is worth it for the internal LAN.
First step is to connect one computer to each router, as mentioned above. An internet connection is not necessary for this part, as you are just configuring the two separate routers. From this point on, the main router will be referred to as "main" and the secondary router will be referred to as "the second". When connected to main, set it up as you would for the instructions above. Simple. For the second router, first login to the setup page. On the "setup" tab, change the "device ip address" to read something different from the main router. Since the main router is listed by default as 192.168.1.1, I selected the second router to be listed as 192.168.1.2. When you click apply, the screen will not refresh as promised because your browser will still be pointed at http://192.168.1.1/ so repoint your browser to http://192.168.1.2/ and you should be back to connecting. Now, on the second router, click the "dhcp" tab. under "dhcp server," select disable. The "number of dhcp users" table should change to "0" automatically. If it doesn't, change it to 0. Now that both routers are on different ips, and only one router is handing out ips via dhcp, you can plug them together. Make one connection from any open port on the main router to the uplink port on the second router. By doing this, port # 1 on the second router becomes disabled. This is due to linksys being a little cheap and making the uplink port and port #1 sharing the same circuitry. Now connect the main router to the internet, and you should be all set. You can access the main router at http://192.168.1.1/ and the second router at http://192.168.1.2/. You will lose one connection per router because of the extra wiring, ie: if you have two 4-port routers, you can plug 6 pc's in.
