Connecting two routers

[sampko]

I have two 1700's. First router1 has 2 ports 1st Ethernet connected to cable modem. 2nd Ethernet connected to switch1. (192.168.0.1)

Second router2 has 2 ports first Ethernet port connected to same switch1 as first router. (192.168.0.4) second Ethernet port connected to another switch2 with multiple computers on it (10.10.0.1)

All computers on switch2 are able to get to the internet OK however there is no connectivity between the computers connected to switch and switch2. Any suggestions on how to get them to talk and keeping them on separate networks?

You need to have a port on router 1 and 2 that share a subnet. For instance you could have 1 port on each router in the 192.168.0.0 network. Place the switch2 interface on router2 in the 10.10.0.0 network. Then run a routing protocol on both routers (RIP, OSPF, EIGRP). At that point the two routers will know about both networks and then the clients will talk. You will then need to setup a static default route on router2 pointing to router1 for internet access (so PCs attached to router2 can get to the internet).

Ok so I already have a port on both routers on the same 192.168.0.0 network. PC's attached to router2 can already use the internet. So then judging by this, I should just setup a routing protocol and I should be good to go?

ok so here is what I did
router1 eth2 is 192.168.0.2

router2 eth1 is 192.168.0.4
eth2 is 10.10.0.1

From the start, I can ping eth1 from router1 and vise versa with router2. I can not however ping 10.10.0.1 from router1.
I created the following static route on router1: ip router 10.10.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.4 However when I try and ping 10.10.0.1 from router1, I get the following:

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.10.0.199, timeout is 2 seconds:
UUUUU
Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)

not too sure what this means.
