correct settings for two networks?
I have an office that has a building on either end of town. I have a wireless bridge connecting the buildings. Each building is on its own ip configuration and has its own internet connection. I have a server for a program at building A. I want to have clients at building B connect to this server, but still use internet and print to network printers on their own network. Right now the wireless bridge has the same addresses as building A. I also fooled with assigning two ip addresses to each clients nic card. It works correctly, except that I can only see building B computers in the workgroup, and I don't know if its using internet from building B or building A. Building A uses 192.168.5.x - 255.255.255.0 - 192.168.5.1Building B uses 192.168.10.x - 255.255.255.0 - 192.168.10.1Any help is appreciated, and I can provide more info if needed.1 person needs an answerI do too

HiI do not know which Hardware you specifically use. Regular Bridging might not do it you need a Routing device between two independentNetworks that are on a different subnet.If two Networks are successfully Bridged to act as one Cohesive networks (same subnet), choosing which Internet connection would be used by each computer can be done by assigning static IPs and putting in each computer 's TCP/IP Gateway entry the IP number of the Router that its Internet should be used,Going through details is beyond the scope of End-Users supporter forum. If the principles above do not help, you should get an onsite consultant. Jack - Microsoft MVP, Windows Networking. WWW.EZLAN.NET
