    Lightbulb How to connect 2 routers for LAN

    Hello,
    I am Rahul. I have a RIL Wimax connection with linksys wireless modem. I have a desktop as well as a Laptop to connect to net (Router Ip: 192.168.1.2 as RIL router at RIL base station uses 192.168.1.1)

    Here is my friend Anil. He has a BSNL broadband with ADSL wireless router. He has only a laptop for accessing the net.(Router Ip: 192.168.1.1)

    Now we have to connect our both network in such a way that our systems are in LAN and at same time respective Internet should be working at each end without sharing.

    Can anyone help how to setup the same.

    (We tried connecting both routers by wire on the LAN ports. Initially both the routers clashed IP's as Anil's lappy ip was 192.168.1.2, so I changed my router IP to 192.168.1.50
    I use Cisco network manager to manage the network. When Anils Router is off it shows my network properly. But when he starts his router, Cisco network manager starts showing his router as primary network.
    And one weird thing happened between this experiment. Net was accessiible on both PC's , so when we checked the Ip on whatismyip.com we found that our net was exchanged. My Network was using BSNL broadband while Mr Anil was using my RIL wimax net )

    Please guide us..

    Query:
    respective Internet should be working at each end without sharing
    .

    Net was accessiible on both PC's
    could be in WIFI mode.
    If the systems are in WIFI Range , and
    you know the security code/s
    2.
    IN TCP/IP properties
    change to
    Obtain Ip address automatically.
    Apply save.
    Now you and your Friend can switch
    to WIFI network of your choice .
    .3.
    Can be considered to be In WLAN ( except Desktop)

    its not wifi between two routers

    the two routers are connected via wire and at a distance where my laptop cannot detect Anil's wifi router.
    so we need to connect with all options of file sharing without sharing internet (I know internet can be blocked using MAC in router page)
