How can I access a shared printer on a different subnet?
Network has a (small business class) cable modem which connects to an unmanaged switch and in turn to 10 computers (subnet 192.168.1.xxx). Two of these computers have shared printers.
A linksys wrt54g also connnects to the switch to provide wireless acess (192.168.0.xxx).
How can this be set up so laptops connected via wireless (192.168.0.xxx) can access the shared printers (192.168.1.xxx)?
It would also be good to access shared files across the subnets.
Thanks in advance,
Leon

Get rid of the WRT54G!
You're supposed to use a Wireless Access Point (WAP) for this,....not a Wireless NAT Box (firewall).
You're using the wrong product for the job.

Cable modem > Switch ??
You would need to run a router in the system here for the 192.168.1.x subnet.
Then another wireless router from the 1st router to give the 2nd subnet?
Is this intentional or is the Linksys purely for wireless access?
As mentioned, you are making life more difficult for yourself by using this system.
