port forwarding and dmz explained for home networking

I have a router (Linksys) that is connected to the cable modem. That router also is connected to a switch. In one of the other rooms I have a router connected to an ethernet jack. That router is a DLINK. The wireless runs off of that router.

I need to open a port on linksys to my computer which is 192.168.0.101

Linksys settings seem to only allow 192.168.1.*. I can't figure out the ip of where I plugged the dlink router into the wall so that in the linksys I can open that port to the ip and then have that router forward the port to my computer.

does this make sense? I didn't do this before and I could download using utorrent. However, it seems to have stopped working and when I check the port it says its not forwarded.

Thanks,

If I understand you correct, You have a Linksys with internal adresses of 192.168.1.1, the DLINK router will have address on the WAN/internet side in the same range eg. 192.168.1.10. Have a look at your DLINK router for this address. open the port in Linksys against the DLINK router address, and then open the port in DLINK against the PC at 192.168.0.101.
