Re: Connecting two lans

Try:

1. Connect the cable to a LAN port on each router.

2. Assuming that both routers are providing DHCP, you must turn this off on
one of them. Assign this router a non-conflicting LAN IP which is
compatible with the IPs being provided by the other router.

3. This creates a single network. However, if you want to continue to use
your respective ISPs:

The machines connected to the router which has DHCP turned off must have
TCP/IP manually configured. Use compatible non-conflicting IPs and set both
the Default Gateway and Primary DNS to the LAN IP address of the non-DHCP
enabled router. All of these addresses should be excluded from the scope
being provided by the DHCP enabled router.
