<div class="moz-cite-prefix">NAT and lack of a routing table entry
in the first router... The first router has no knowledge of the
network behind your linksys because it is NAT'ing and you do not
have a route statement in the first router relating to the network
on the second router. The devices behind the second router can
reach devices on the first router because it is NAT'ing the
traffic and also because the second router's default route sends
its traffic to the first router to route. There are ways around
it such as disabling NAT (I don't think you can do that on the
Linksys router you mentioned) and adding a route statement in the
first router. You would also then have to program the first router
to perform NAT for the second router's LAN network as well. This
makes for an overly complicated setup for a home user that has
limited network experience. Setting up the routers LAN to LAN is
the easiest way to resolve your issue, even though it is not all
that simple either.<br>

Mike, what I was trying to walk you through is outlined on
several web pages if you do a search. I have included one of
those links for your convenience. Your provided modem/router
(router 1) uses either DSL or Cable for its WAN/Internet port. I
would heavily suggest against you making any changes to router
1. SOHO routers typically have a cluster of ports which can be
lumped together under the title LAN. Most SOHO routers will have
a port off the side from that grouping to help you distinguish
the fact that it is the WAN/Internet port.<br>
