One issue might be that the SMC wireless router may not pass Appletalk through the wireless side. I don't remember if the 4/600 could use IP printing, but that might be your option. I set up my 16/600 to use IP printing because I have a DLink wireless that won't pass AT over the wireless side. As far as connecting the two routers, I have a similar setup - DSL to Linksys wired and then to DLink wireless. I run one of the Linksys out ports into one of the DLink out ports, and then it just bridges the wired side. You have to turn off the DHCP function of the wireless first. Only one of the routers can be passing out addresses. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
