Set up a router with two computers? gateway question??

hi i have a router and two computers, both computers connect to the router, but can't ping each other..

the router has two ethernet ports, port1 has an ip address of 192.168.1.2 and port2 has 192.168.2.1 ... not sure if this is right....

okay computer A has ip address of 192.168.1.2 and computer B has ip address of 192.168.1.3 and both use the same gatway which is 192.168.2.1

i really need some help on this one, im trying to get both computer to ping each other, but really have no idea, am just guessing what i need the gatways to be set to....

any help would awsome, cheers :)

I dont know why your IP addresses would be in different ranges if they are connected to the same router....

Your routers IP address is 192.168.2.1 so it should have a built in DHCP server that assignes the computers an automatic IP address in the sam range, something between 192.168.2.2 and 192.168.2.254.

Also your computers should both have file and printer sharing enabled, Make the workgroup name on the computers the same and then place the IP addresses of the computers in each of the computers firewall trusted zone.

The router is a router, not a network hub. But make your PC IP addresses very different, say 192.168.2.10 and 192.168.2.11. Make the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and set each PCs gateway as 192.168.2.1. I don't know if this will work but it's worth a try.
