Abstract: Recently in cite{jss1}, the authors have given a method for calculation of the effective resistance (resistance distance) on distance-regular networks, where the calculation was based on stratification introduced in cite{js} and Stieltjes transform of the spectral distribution (Stieltjes function) associated with the network. Also, in Ref. cite{jss1} it has been shown that the resistance distances between a node alpha and all nodes belonging to the same stratum with respect to the alpha (, belonging to the i-th stratum with respect to the alpha) are the same. In this work, an algorithm for recursive calculation of the resistance distances in an arbitrary distance-regular resistor network is provided, where the derivation of the algorithm is based on the Bose-Mesner algebra, stratification of the network, spectral techniques and Christoffel-Darboux identity. It is shown that the effective resistance on a distance-regular network is an strictly increasing function of the shortest path distance defined on the network. In the other words, the two-point resistance is strictly larger than . The link between the resistance distance and random walks on distance-regular networks is discussed, where the average commute time (CT) and its square root (called Euclidean commute time (ECT)) as a distance are related to the effective resistance. Finally, for some important examples of finite distance- regular networks, the resistance distances are calculated. {�f Keywords: resistance distance, association scheme, stratification, distance-regular networks, Christoffel-Darboux identity} {�f PACs Index: 01.55.+b, 02.10.Yn}
