Adding onto a network problem

Let me first explain what I want to do here.

I have a cable internet connection coming into a router creating a general wired network throughout the house. My friend had a gateway that he wasn't using so he gave it to me. I plugged my room's interent connection into the gateway and then plugged my computer into it. It can get on the internet just fine but there is just one problem: I can't see anybody on the home network now.

By using a gateway, can I no longer see the network above it or can I somehow open it up in the settings of the gateway?

Thanks for the help guys and I'll check the thread often for quick updates.

Using a gateway creates a new subnet different from your existing network. If you want to see your network, use a switch instead.
