Wireless Networking - Connecting to two networks at same time.

10-18-2006, 03:34 PM

Is it possible to connect to two networks, one wirelessly and one via LAN
card at the same time?
The IP addresses on both connection methods are assigned manually.
Wireless 10.74.***.***
LAN 10.121.***.***
Subnets same 255.255.255.0

I don't see why not. We have desktops with two NIC cards that connect to
different networks.

Hi
The answer is yes, and partial No.
You can establish a connection and use it in certain ways, depending on the
application.
E.g. You can surf independently the Internet through the two connections at
the same time.

Thanks Jack,

Each network has its own gateway, all the user hopes to do is move files
between networks.
Will the workgroups need to have the same name?

Hi
Yeah, moving files would work at the same time.
The name does not need to be the same.

Yep you can. You BRIDGE the networks but you lose manual assign of IP
numbers at that point. Been there and done it myself, before.

Eh?

I had a wired network AND wireless and bridged them at the one computer. I
could get through the network from any machine to any other and I could also
get internet from any machine.

So what doesn't work there?

Perhaps I'm wrong, but I am reading this like Jack is, and Mike wants to
retain the two IP address ranges. He actually wants/needs two different LANs
he does not simply wish to combine them into one big LAN. In that case Jack
is correct, it will work, somethings will become more difficult however.
