RE: Connecting two home networks together?

["Ian Lowe" <ian@xxxxxxx>]

In general, running WINS on a server either on both sides, and have
them
replicate databases, or on one side, and have all of the other side's
machines pointing at it too will do the trick for all browsing needs.

to get it working without WINS, as I recall, you need to have a machine
on
each side of the routed link who is a member of the other side's
workgroup
(all in one workgroup doesn't work)

as a sygate replcement, you could do a lot worse than Winroute
(www.winroute.com) damn tooting bit of software...

Subject: [ukha_d] Connecting two home networks together?


As part of a combined HA strategy a friend and I spent today trying to
bridge two networks together with a wireless LAN link. We've got it
routing the TCP/IP packets successfully (pings seem successful), but
browsing the network is somewhat hit and miss (sometimes it works,
sometimes it doesn't). We're doing this all internally in one location
until we get it working when we'll extend it to the antenna's on our
roofs.

Any ideas what s/w we should be using to share an internet connection
at either end of the 2 LANs across both of the networks?

I've been using SyGate to share my modem connection up 'til now but it
really doesn't look up to the job, although we didn't get too far in
that direction before calling it a day.

PS - the pictures of all the test wiring are likely to be hilarious as
we had to spread out across 2 rooms upstairs! <LOL>
