For reasons that would take too long to 'splain, it is advantageous for me to have a setup where my cable modem goes to a 2-port router, which in turn sends one RJ-45 cable to my office 7300/G3, and one to my wireless router.
Now, for some reason, I cannot get any LAN connections to my 2nd PCI Mac when I hook it up to the wireless router's wired port. I know the wireless router works; I previously had it hooked up to the cable modem and it worked fine then....
Is there some rule that says you cannot get a connection thru two routers?
No, but you can go insane keeping the subnets and such straight (which is probably your current difficulty). Best to keep your network as simple as possible: Use the first router to manage your LAN, by enabling NAT and DHCP on it. Use the 2nd router (the wireless) in bridging mode, essentially a "pass thru" device that just passivly connects wireless devices to your LAN.
