Computer networks

Given: two local networks with addressing 192.168.101.x and 192.168.72.x. and a computer with two network cards. All computers are running windows xp.

And on all computers you need to register a route to a neighboring network or make a computer with two network routers by default.

Answer 2

Instead of a PC - a cheap switch for 5 ports. On a PC in both networks, change the mask from 255.255.255.0 to 255.255.0.0
