Link 2 routers and make 1 workgroup?

In the zone
So, I have 2 Wireless routers....
One is a BSNL wireless router in which our phone line is directly connected....

And from the first router a wire is connected to the second LinkSYS router.....

Both the routers run completely fine and provide internet....


The only problem is that the computers connected to the first wireless router cannot access the shared files of computers connected to the second router and the other way around.....

The workgroup name is the same....


Is there any way to fix this?

Need to change the default gateway IP address!
Router 1 is connected to Router 2. Say for instance Router 1 is set an IP address of 192.168.1.1 & Router 2 is set an IP address of 192.168.1.2.
Computer 1 is connected to Router 1 & Computer 2 is connected to Router 2.
Now on Computer 1 click on start>run>ncpa.cpl. Right click on the wireless adapter & select Properties. Select TCP/IP version 4 & click on Properties. Change the default gateway address to 192.168.1.2.
Similarly on Computer 2 change the default gateway IP address to 192.168.1.1.
Once you complete this check if you can ping Computer 2 from Computer 1 and vice versa.
Tell me whether this works.
