Problem of connexion to the internet with two routers
 

Hello,

I have one router (first) connected to the Internet and another router
(second)
connected to the first.
I've disabled the second router's DHCP server and the connection b/w the two
routers is from LAN port to LAN port. All computers are on the same subnet as
reflected by ip addresses & subnet masks. All PCs are in the same
workgroup
and WinXP firewalls on all computers are off.
So the problem I am having is that computers on the first router can see (via
My
Network Places) computers on the second router, but not vice versa. Similarly
computers on the second router cannot ping the first, but in the opposite
direction it works.

Despite all this... I can access the Internet fine on all computers.
Any idea how I can solve this problem to be able to share?

Sincerely.

Switch the firewall on the second router off.
