I have two separate networks 188.89.0.0/24 and 188.89.1.0/24, they are physically connected. What should I configure and where to configure so that host of each network can connect to other host in the network

Huh? You do not have two separate networks - but just two different IP addresses. We need more information to help you.


1) What type of network are you trying to create? At home?


2) What are you trying to do?

Your IP addresses that you gave indicates that you have two computers connected to the same "network". If they are connected by ethernet cable or wireless router, then yes, they are connected to the same network.





To configure:


All the same applies to LAN as WAN except for differences in permissions.


A Lan, is used for a small LOCAL Area Network. Across a short distance with settings to the same Router.


A Wan is needed for a WIDE Area Network. Across the internet.





When you add the feature to allow users to connect REMOTELY to your Lan, then you can say it becomes a Wan.








You would only need a router or switch when you are connecting MORE THAN two computers at any one location.





1. Connect the incoming ISP signal to the modem.


2. Use a short regular ethernet cable to connect the modem to the first computer1.


3. For Just two computers in one location, you can Use a longer CROSSOVER cable to connect computer1 to computer2.





Look on the back of computer1 to see what kind of ports you have available.


The cable from the modem will probably be an RJ45 connector into the modem, and


the back of computer1 should have a RJ45 port





Now, to connect computer1 to computer2


the back of computer1 will need to have another RJ 45 port (recommended)


OR at least a USB port





The back of computer2 should have a RJ45 port also.





You will use these ports to connect the two computers, and your crossover cable will have to have corresponding connectors.


Look for these at WalMart or Radio Shack.





If computer1 does not have a port


you can install one. The port is from a NIC


Network Interface Card.





Actually, that's what is inside all the ports are connected to cards which are connected to the motherboard.





If you don't have a NIC, get one from Ebay, or other computer equipment resources.





When you install a NIC you'll just


open your computer,


knock out one of the blank slots on the back of the computer.


and plug the NIC into the motherboard


and close the computer





(remember to destatic yourself/ touch metal when touching things inside your computer).





Computer1 will need to be turned on


for computer2 to access the internet.





4. If you have more than two computers in a location, you will need a router to connect 3 or more.





The regular ethernet cable will run from the modem to the ROUTER first port %26gt;


and then computer 1 will plug into the next port inline, and then the other computers into the additonal ports on the router.





5. Then you need to run the Networking Set Up Wizard.


Have a floppy ready to copy set up information (during the set up) to the other computers.





6. REMOTE USERS: For a WAN during set up you want to allow "remote" users.


For your LAN Local Area Network, you want to allow the other computer by name, access.


and


in Control Panel %26gt; Windows Firewall %26gt; tab "Exceptions" designate the members of your Network by each different computer name.





7. You will also need to join each computer to a WORKGROUP in MyNetwork Places. The workgroup name will be the same on both computer.


Next map each of the computers drives, each getting a unique drive letter for access. (NOT A, B, C D or E).


Start backwards with Z or Y or X, other letters








8.You'll need to create a Shared Docs on each computer mapped drive in MyNetwork Neighborhood.


....and for files and folders you want to share, you will click/ hold down r-mouse button/ drag to new folder/ hover over until it turns blue (selected)/drop = let go mouse button /select "copy here" each into Shared Docs in MyNetwork Neighborhood


You will need to do the name of each computer.


You will need access to all of the computers





9. If you need more specifics go to


R-click START %26gt; L-click Explore


at top tool bar click HELP %26gt;


INDEX %26gt; type in Networking





10. Also Right click this link %26gt; then click Open in New Window

Reply:It sounds like you have a router with a LAN port IP address in the 188.89.0.0/24 (254 addresses) net range and another router with a LAN port IP address in the 188.89.1.0/24 (254 addresses) range and you want hosts in each network to talk to each other.





The way I would set it up is to use a Cisco router and have the ISP offer a single IP one the WAN interface and then you configure the LAN interface with both networks. LAN interface1 to be 188.89.0.1 and LAN interface2 to be 188.89.1.1. The hosts in 188.89.0.0 net would use 188.89.0.1 as their gateway which would route packed to 188.89.1.0 network. The hosts in 188.89.1.0 network would use 188.89.1.1 as their gateway which routes packets to the 188.89.0.0 network.





If you are using Microsoft Operating Systems, create an Active Directory and put a Domain Controller in each network. Add each additional server and user computer in each network to the domain. This will give resource access to each host in both networks. You could do this with workgroups and adding trusts as well but that is a lot of administration to setup.








I not sure why you would want 508 public addresses for your hosts though.





Its typical that you ask for a single public address from your ISP and use the router's Network Address Translation (NAT) to private addresses to offer some security. I can see where you might want about 10 public addresses because of multiple virtual server access.
Reply:A lot of people reading stuff into this question.





You stick a router between the two networks. How big the router needs to be depends on the speed and volume of traffic that needs to be there.
