Solve : Two routers, one NAS, a few computers?

Answer»

Hi!

I'm having trouble accessing my NAS-disk from all the computers in my network. I have a wired Netgear router that's connected to the internet. One computer and a wireless D-link router is connected to the Netgear router with cat5 cables. The NAS is connected to the wireless D-link with a cat5 cable. There are several laptops connected wirelessly to the D-link.

Currently, everything seems to work like I want it, except I cannot access the NAS from the computer that is wired to the Netgear router. The internet connection works fine on all computers.

What do I have to do in order to be able to access the NAS from all the computers? Any help is GREATLY appreciated! Thanks for your time!!!! This COMES out of left field, but just double-check that all computers have the same subnet mask... ("ipconfig" at a command prompt.)Thanks for replying ROB!

Yep, they are the same (255.255.255.0). I just found out I cannot access ANYTHING at all connected to the D-link from the stationary computer that is wired to the Netgear. It is as if the D-link does not exist when I try to access it from the stationary. All the laptops can access both routers.

I know very little about networks, so I may have missed something elementary... Should this normally work when the settings on both routers are factory DEFAULT? Or do I need to change something? Thanks!
