Network gurus:

Is it possible to hook up two router together? I currently have a netgear RT314 and wish to hook up another router D-Link with printer server to the Netgear. I just want to use the Dlink print server along with the RT314 (I don't want to get rid off the Netgear. It is fast and trouble free for years.) At $70 after rebate I think this is the cheapest way I can get a print server.

Advance thanks for any kind of help.

My current system is hook up as follow:
Cable modem in RT314 Wan Port.
Sys1: Dual PII 266, 396MB, RT314 port 1, Win2k Pro, mainly for internet activities and testing programs
Sys2: Tbird 800, 256MB, RT314 port 2, HP Deskjet 890c (this printer is share with Sys1, and I have to turn Sys2 on in order to print from Sys1), Win2K pro, mainly for CAD applications.

Connect the D-Link to the Netgear's Uplink port. Disable the DHCP service on the D-Link. If you have no Uplink port on the Netgear, Use a crossover cable between them.
