So, Ive got a file server (samba) connected to a router (Router A) connected to that is another router, which I am behind (Router B). I want to be able to connect to it from here (Router B), but its not shown in my network map. How can I connect to it?

the fuck did i just read?

if you're talking about connecting to the samba server from your LAN when the samba server is in another LAN, only way that's possible is if the samba server was exposed to the WAN or if you got a shell on router and connected to it from there or using a dns rebinding technique to expose the server to the wan yourself.

You have two routers in your LAN? Why? What purpose does the second router serve?

I'm sure it's possible to do this with 2 routers on the network, but that will significantly complicate it.

I've worked in networking for a large company and I have never seen a need for multiple routers.. Why have you configured it this way? An access point perhaps? in which case it needs to be configured properly..

I understand what your asking, I do agree with the others that it is a redundant system but none the less have no idea why you wouldn't be able to access the file server if you have routed / connected everything properly.

You clearly have no understanding of basic networking. Go away.

You clearly did not read what he asked.

Yes, I could set it up as an AP, but I prefer the security and control of my own router. (Call me paranoid, but I don't like the idea of everyone that comes into my house being on the same network as my personal PC, and the shared folders I have for my other computers.) The main router for At&t is total garbage for for port forwarding and and services; they give you very little control. It's easier for me to just place the second router in DMZ and use its firewall instead.

You're dumb, go away.
