I have the following setup

My DSL router’s address is 10.0.0.1. My wireless 802.11g router directly inside that 
is at 192.168.0.1. The DSL router gets an automatically assigned public IP on the 
outside. My laptop connected wirelessly to the Wi-Fi router gets a private IP based 
on the 192.168.0.1 scheme and my desktop running Windows 98se has an ethernet connection 
to the wireless router. It’s IP is also automatically assigned.

The desktop can connect to the Internet. The laptop can connect to the Internet. 
With a little work I can get the desktop to see and access shares on the laptop. 
I can’t get the laptop to see and access the desktop and its shares. I believe that 
the network not all being on the same subnet is the problem. Whatever the problem 
is, I’d really like a detailed answer on how to get them all to see each other and 
work with files freely from one to the other and back again while both machines still 
see the Internet fine.

I need to do it with the equipment and operating systems that I have. The DSL router 
is a Speed Stream 5660, which I can get inside of fine. The wireless router is a 
Netgear WGR614. I will probably find it easiest to change the Netgear router over 
to the 10.0.0.1 scheme, making it 10.0.0.2 (?) if that’s what I need to do (?) I’m 
not afraid to get into the routers and make changes as long as it will work. Whatever 
the easiest solution is. Oh and winipcfg doesn’t show anything but zeros for the 
IP address of the W98se box or for the subnet there, so I’m not sure if it’s getting 
its IP and subnet from the one router or the other. It shows a DNS server of 10.0.0.1 
though, which should be the outer router for DSL.

Thanks for any assistance.
