Randomaxess,
Maybe I'm dense but I don't understand why you are hooking things up like this.
The problem is that you've got two routers in the picture. This type of router functions basically as a gateway and joins separate networks together. In other words, it handles the transfer of packets from one network to another.
The LinkSys has the ability to switch working modes from Gateway to Router but I don't know about the SMC. In your config, you need to keep the LinkSys as a Gateway but you need to switch the SMC to Router mode. You will also probably need to change your addressing scheme. Let's say the LinkSys is 192.168.1.1. Computers connected to that router can be in the 192.168.1.x range. The SMC's "WAN" interface or uplink will use an IP in the 192.168.1.x range. It's LAN interface, and the computers connected to it, could use the 192.168.2.x range. Make sure the default gateway for the SMC is the LinkSys.
I think that will work and you can leave DHCP on. Wouldn't it just be simpler to use one or the other and not both routers??
Hope that helps.
