I am trying to set up my office with a additional workgroup. Workgroup1 is hooked to a wireless router then to the internet dsl line, the systems on that network are all running XP Pro. We have just expanded to the adjacent office space and want to have another workgroup that hooks to a router and internet through another dsl line. We wnat a few people to see both work groups and switch back and forth as needed. The new set up is using Vista, how can I set it up? Thanks |

Hi If one of the computers has a second network card (or if none have, install a second card in one computer). Connect this card to the Router of the other network and configure it as though it belongs to the second network. Then Bridge the two networks in the computer with the two Cards. This page describe bridging between two network it uses USB as an example, but the principle is the same for two regular Networks. http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/wxpbrdge.html Jack (MS, MVP-Networking) "Oren" <Oren@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:1209CEA4-E895-4AC3-A3D6-E54FCB7B4150@microsoft.com... >I am trying to set up my office with a additional workgroup.
