Hi,
I have a Sky broadband internet connection at home which is boradcast in my
house via Sky's bastardised Netgearrouter. Connected to this router via
cable is my linux box. Now as my house is large and has thick walls the Sky
wireless range is rather small, so what i did was use an old Linksys router
kicking around and wired the two routers together placing the Linksys
router further into my house. By doing this I was able to connect to the
internet in my bedroom from my Windows box which i was unable to do when
just using the Netgear wireless network.
My problem however is as follows:
The netgear router has DHCP enabled and an IP address of 192.168.0.1
The linksys router has DHCP enabled, an IP address of 192.168.0.3 and a
local IP address of 192.168.1.1
My Linux box has an IP address of 192.168.0.4
My Windows box has an IP address of 192.168.1.100
Now i would like to be able to access my shares on my windows box from my
linux box.
I can ping my linux box from my windows box no problems and access its
shares, but when i try it the other way round i get nothing. How can i go
about fixing this problem?
