Got a simple question I can't find answer to

[Laddyboy]

I am trying to get computer on 2 different networks with 2 different workgroup names to see each other...is this possible? Seems I remember reading about this before but I can't find anything in my books. I am using a Linksys 4 port router, if this makes a difference.

I suck at Windows networking, but to route NetBios names across networks you'll need a WINS server to do netbios name resolution.

If its just a few machines, you can use the LMHOST file.

Or if you don't care about naming at all, then just do it by IP
addresses.

net use \\10.10.1.1\c$ /user:<workgroup or domain>\<username>

where 10.10.1.1 is the target machines IP.

etc..

Two NICs in the computer, one configured for each of the networks, and edit routing table to route packets between the networks.
