Connecting 2 computers on 2 different networks?

Question

Hi, can anyone tell me how to connect my computer to another computer that is on another network using windows command line (cmd). Both computers are running Microsoft Windows XP as their operating systems

Answer 1

If you have an FTP server on one of the machines, then you could FTP between computers. The FTP client is on both machines. You did not say why you wanted to connect only that you wanted to connect.

Answer 2

No it is not. The difference between a switch and a router is called NAT - Network Address Translation A router presents only one IP address to the WAN side, regardless of how many computers are connected on the LAN side. The router TRANSLATES the LAN side IP addresses to do this. As far as the modem is concerned, there is only one computer connected to it. A switch passes the IP address though, so the modem, which can only work with one address at a time, shuts the other computer out. Hope that helps

Answer 3

Command line net commands do not cross network boundaries. If you had domain controller servers running the networks and Wins proxy on each you could do it.

Answer 4

you cannot connect computers in diff network(subnet). In order to make computers in diff subnet to communicate it need to use a router between them.
