Shared internet on 2 networks

[LxMxFxD4]

Hi,

I recently moved and must now share my private network (2 wired computers, wired printer) on a DGL-4300 router onto the house's linksys router.

I don't know how to do this.

What I need to do is not just make my router a switch by turning off DHCP, as I do very large file transfers between the two computers on my private network @ 1000Mbits.

So how WOULD I do this?

Basically all 3 devices need internet.. but I need my 3 devices on my D-link to not go through packets on the Linksys.

Thanks!

Attach the WAN port on your D-Link to one of the Ethernet/LAN ports on the Linksys. Set your D-Link to use DHCP on the WAN side so that it will have connectivity to the Internet through the Linksys, and set the LAN side of your D-Link to use a different IP address range than what the Linksys is using so that your computers will talk to each other 'locally' on the LAN side of the D-Link router when transferring files, and will go through both routers when they need access to the Internet.

You have two options.

One cohesive Network with every one on the site.

Using a Wireless Router as a switch with an Access Point - http://www.ezlan.net/router_AP.html

Independent Segregated network.

There is No good or bad, it a matter of how you would like your Network's security.

Thanks to both you guys.... both answers worked perfectly.

Apparently the D-link DGL-4300 has an auto mux function on at least the WAN port so I didn't even have to mess with a crossover cable or anything! Brilliant!

Thanks again
