Network share problem

Here is a basic overview of my network:

Router Connections:
Internet --> Versalink (Port 4) --> Befsr41 (WAN Port)

Versalink (Router 1)
-DSL Modem/Wireless Router/Gateway
-One computer attached (wired on port 1)
-ip: 192.168.1.1
-subnet: 255.255.255.0
-dhcp: 192.168.1.15-192.168.1.47

BEFSR41 (Router 2)
- Wired Router/Gateway
-Two Computers attached (wired on port 1 and 2)
-ip: 192.168.1.46
-device ip: 10.0.0.1
-subnet: 255.255.255.248
-dhcp: 10.0.0.2-10.0.0.6

Computers (all IPs are static/dhcp):
bmwz8 -- attached to Versalink, ip = 192.168.1.47
sc430 -- attached to befsr41, ip = 10.0.0.2
diablosv -- attached to befsr41, ip = 10.0.0.3

Now, the problem is quite simple. From my computer (BMWZ8), I can't access shared printers or folders on SC430. DiabloSV can see the shares on SC430, and both computers can see shares on BMWZ8, but i can't see shares on either of those 2 computers. Internet works fine on all the computers. sc430 and diablosv can access the befsr41 and versalink http configs, but my comp (bmwz8) can access the befsr41 only if i go through the remote management port (8080).

What do I need to change on the linksys to access the network shares?

edit: Both routers must be gateways with different ip scopes.
 
Look at your route table (drop to a prompt, type 'route', and go from there). Does your machine have an entry that starts with 10.0.0.0? If not, you need to add one in, and tell it to go to the LinkSys (192.168.1.46). Note that if the LinkSys is doing NAT, that /might/ make things interesting.
 
Ok, this part is confusing me a little:
BEFSR41 (Router 2)
- Wired Router/Gateway
-Two Computers attached (wired on port 1 and 2)
-ip: 192.168.1.46
-device ip: 10.0.0.1

What is the IP of this router? Also, are both devices doing DHCP and NAT?
The gateway for the BEFSR41 is the versalink, right?

Anyway, the problem is that you need a route on the versalink pointing to the BEFSR41, something like 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 next hop (whatever the IP is for the BEFSR41) if you want to do it with a static route, or most SOHO routers also support RIP.

What is the gateway IP your are using for all the machines?

Will that work? Will the Versalink spit things back out onto 192.168.1.0/24, when that's where it came from?
 
Might I simply reccomend you change all the IP addresses to 192.168.x.x network? Using that 10.x.x.x class of network is not exactly suitable for a home, because you wont have 1.6 million IP addresses to take up.

Nor do I say that he will have 60,000 IP address in the 192.168.x.x network, but hey, it makes thing easier when the machines are on the same subnet!
 
Just because your network starts with 10., doesn't mean that you're using the full /8. I have a 10.0.0.0/30 set up in a part of my network -- I'm using 10., but I've only got two hosts on the network. And I'm using all the available network space.
