Okay, I thought I had everything right but it still doesn't work.

------------
Modem > Router 1

Router 1 >
a) Gateway
b) Router 2

Router 2 >
a) HP
b) Dell
------------
Okay, well I added the HP and Dell IPs to Norton Personal Firewall so that
it would accept them. I also checked the Windows Firewall and that's all set
up correctly. However, on the Gateway, the only workgroup computers is the
Gateway. On the Dell & HP, they both show up ... the workgroup is the same
name. Any ideas?

Router 2 must NOT have DHCP enabled, unless the HP and Dell are to be on
a separate 192.168.xxx.--- xxx values from the Gateway and Router 2.

Router 2 can be put into "hub" mode to put all 3 computers on the same LAN.
