two routers, one network..is this possible?

[wasssup]

I've got two routers connected in series (one in my basement connected to the cable modem and going to all sides of the house). Another router is in my room; i've got the one ethernet cable in my room plugged into the WAN port of the router, which connects my xbox/pc/laptop to the network. While I can access the internet, I can't access my fileserver which is connected directly to the main router.

I'm sure there's a simple solution...however google isn't my friend today. Help!

This was written for Wireless but the priciple applies to wire as well, Using a Wireless Cable/DSL Router as a Switch with an Access Point

Wow. I wasn't expecting a reply this quick (if at all), so thanks! Going to take a glance at it and work with it, i'll keep you updated.

Oh ok, that makes sense..kind of similar to what I had to do to get that bridge setup..trying it now..

Wow...I was having a really hard time getting that method to work.

I completely missed the tab on my router setup screen that said "use as access point" ... tried that and everything started working instantly -- awesome.

Thanks.
