Question about connecting 2 Cable/DSL routers

802.11b SOHO routers don't bridge. Even if they did you'd run into some hefty configuration issues. If you want to try to make it work you'll need a third device to act as a workgroup bridge. Then you could disable his DHCP server. The workgroup bridge would associate to your router and patch into the switch on his device with a X-over cable. Actually you could probably use a straight through as most ports these days are auto-detect. I assume your trying to share your broadband connection. If he actually uses his router to distribute his own broadband connection then you'd need two extra devices. Two bridges. Then you'd have to be on the same network subnet, but have your own routers as your respective gateway IP's.

Thanks for the info. That's what I was starting to worry about. He was able to return his router and pick up a pci card that will work just fine. The only reason we were trying to get that to work was that he was getting quite a deal on the router. He'll actually pay $8 more for just the pci card. But in the long run it will be the way to go. Thanks again.
