I'm not very experienced with networking, so advice is requested. A client of mine needs to share files across two computers with a not so simple network configuration. I don't have all the details, but may be able to find more info.
Internet comes in via dish to Belkin wireless modem/router.
Laptop #1 connects wireless to Belkin W/M.
Belkin W/M connects by cable to 3TB network storage device,
and by cable to a Cisco router in another nearby building.
Cisco router connects by cable to Office PC, and to Laptop #2.
The file(s) of interest are on Office PC, and need to be shared by both laptops.
Laptop #2 can connect to Office PC with login/password and open the file of interest. Laptop #1 cannot see Office PC. How can I get Laptop #1 to connect through the Belkin W/M and the Cisco router to Office PC the way Laptop #2 does?
