<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I have a WRT54GS2 (Router 1) and a WRT54G2 (router 2)<br>
<br>
Cisco says I cannot do the following<br>
<br>
Connect Internet port Router 2 to Port 1-4 on Router 1<br>
and expect to pull a DHCP address from Router 1<br>
<br>
Router 2 settings<br>
Dhcp auto config set<br>
Router ip addr <a href="http://192.168.1.2" target="_blank">192.168.1.2</a><br>
Disabled DHCP<br>
<br>
Router 1 works fine and has for years<br>
<br>
With a PC plugged into Port 1 of Router 2 and<br>
Router 2 Internet Port connected to<br>
Router 1 port 1, the PC will not pull<br>
a DHCP address from Router 1.<br>
<br>
If I plug a cable into port 1 of Router 1<br>
and plug the other end of that cable into<br>
port 4 on Router 2 and the PC is still connected<br>
to Router 2 port 1, the PC pulls an address<br>
and things work fine.<br>
<br>
Am I crazy or is Cisco right, I cannot connect<br>
Router 2 to Router 1 using the Internet Port<br>
on ROuter 2 and expect to pull DHCP addresses<br>
from Router 1 when DHCP on Router 2 is disabled.<br>
<br>
In other words I want to basically use Router 2<br>
as a Pass thru.<br>
<br>
Any info would be appreciated.<br>
