Why have two routers? You only need one for this set up, right? You have
to tell your D-Link router that you don't want everything going out to
the internet any more. You want some stuff to stay within your network.
Having the two routers, I believe you now have two networks...so you
need to be able to have your two networks talk to each other...really
I'd detach the netgear router all together, and connect the thinkpad-w
to the D-Link router, and everyone should be happy again...
