I am in a precarious situation : One fine morning , my boss pulled out a cable to connect the 2 switches (1 switch for one LAN). This may be what it looks like :
(machines (machines 10.10.1.*) 192.255.255.*) [switch1] -------------------- [switch2] | | LAN1's LAN2's computers computers connected connected to this switch to this switch This choice came out of the blue and I do not have time to work out my basics right ! I am too tensed up to think. My thinking is I will have to get the 192.255.255.* LAN over to 10.something.something.something . One is Class A , the other is Class C , so may be I will make all of them onto Class A. Well , my boss wants the Proxy (to the Internet) {and later the firewall which I will then ask you} to be on 192.255.255.1 . That means the 10.10.1.* guys will have to reach the other LAN via the switch and then use the Proxy. Is my line of thinking right ? ie: Converting the Class C -based LAN2 's IP Addresses over to the 10.*.*.* , so that both Windoze and Linux can see LAN2 . Please share your views and experience on this. Warm Regards, Shyam -- ------------([EMAIL PROTECTED])--(=)--(Shyam)--------------- "Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder."
