Linking two broadband modem routers

[Newbeetle100]

Hi,

I have a Thompson O2 wireless box 2, in one room of the house, and a Netgear G Router WGR614 v9 in another. (I used the Netgear as it was an old item I already had).

The Thompson box is connected to the phoneline and I have hardwired a network cable from an ethernet port on this box and have connected this to the Internet port on the Netgear box. The Netgear box updated its IP automatically so there's no conflict. The PC's connected to both boxes connect to the interent fine and I can see all PC's on the network.

This is where I need help, I have a Belkin USB network home connected to the Netgear box, this has my printers, and an external hard drive connected that I would like to be able to access on all PC's, but I can't see this device on the Thompson box, so I can't access the devices on the PC's connected to this box.

Just wondering if there's a way around this apart from fitting all PC's with a wireless device?

Thanks
Newbeetle

Hi, I have worked this problem out, connected the ethernet cable from the Thompson box to the LAN side of the Netgear box and disabled the DHCP setting and so far this seems to have solved the problem.
