Map Network Drive - Two Routers

Question

Okay, here is our set up. We have a four port LinkSys wireless router with the WAN port connected to the cable router. No problem. Call this router A.   Since the building is big, we have two more wireless routers. The WAN port on each is wired to one of the four ports on router A. No problem. Call these routers B and C.   We can connect wirelessly (or wired) to any of the three routers (A is 192.168.1.x, B is 192.168.2.x, and C is 192.168.3.x). We can connect to the internet, no problem. We can print to the IP printer connected to A. All seems fine.   Now the problem. We picked up a Buffalo LinkStation network storage device. It is wired to A with a static IP address of 192.168.1.250. It works great from router A. However, none of the computers on routers B or C can see the storage device. Nor does it show up in Netwoek Neighborhood.   From any of the routers, I can enter the IP address and get the setup screen, but I can't access the file stores or mount them as drive letters. I can set it up as FTP and access the file stores that way, but that doens't allow me to map network drives.   Is there a way from router B or C to mount the \OurFiles\PublicFiles as a drive letter?
