Hi,
I have 2 linksys routers a wrt54gs (cable) and a wag54gs(adsl). what i would like to do is conect or set them up so pc's on one router can access printer and files on pc's from the other router and vice verser.
it either can't be done or it's just a case of setting the right ip address etc.

Thanks in advance for any help i receive about this

You have two local networks each connected separately to the internet?

if that is the case and you want to be able to access from one local network to the other you have two options:
1) convret to one internet connection and use second router as a bridge (disable routing) and connect its WAN port to one of the LAN ports of the first router
2) connect from one local network to the other through the internet. it is not easy to configure and secure, but it is possible.
