Default two routers (linksys), two hubs, cable modem - networking?

I've been struggling with two routers I have with two hubs in between. I've
got it so the two computers on one hub/router and the 3 computers on another
hub/router can get to the internet using the one cable modem. By using the
series of uplink ports between all the routers and hubs.

Problem is, I can't see the two groups of computers in the network
neighborhood. I feel like I'm real close since all machines can get on the
internet and DHCP is even working as well as wireless with the wireless
router.

I don't have the luxury of connecting the two routers directly too each
other in this case, so I have the hubs uplinked to each other which both
then go to the routers and then the one router goes to the cable modem.


Is there a quick fix to allow the two groups/routers to see each other in
the windows network neighborhood? Or am I going to have to get into some
static or dynamic routing? I played with that a bit but would lose one
router's connection completely or had other problems.

So right now I have:

cable modem -- router A -- hub -- hub -- router B

router A is the gateway and router B is simply configured to have a static
IP and uses the IP of router A as the gateway.

router A: 192.168.1.1
router B: 192.168.1.2
both use subnet: 255.255.255.0


Anything I'm missing or something else I can apply to allow the two to allow
windows networking?

Thanks in advance!
