Network Two Routers?

[cicero]

I have 2 computers in different rooms that I want to network wirelessly, and I have two D-Link 802.11b routers lying around. Is there a way I could wirelessly network those two computers using only my two routers? Thanks!

not really, just hook up one router the the wide band connection and use a wireless nic in each computer,
it will work good this way, and no problems.

Well, I don't have any wireless nic's, so I thought I would see if I could do it without spending any more money. Thanks!

All you need is ONE router and ONE wireless NIC - the other computer will connect to a wired port. I've yet to see a wireless router that can be used only as a bridge (which is what you want to do).

I know, but since I have both of those routers lying around and no wireless NICs, I thought I would check to see if there was any way to use them.

Nope. See if you can trade off one router for a wireless nic.
