2 Comps,2 Isp,can I Bridge The 2 Comps Together And Browse Files?

[gabb20]

Hi guys...

 

I want to connect two computers together in order to be able to browse folders/files from one computer to the other.

 

here's my scenario:

 

 

Computer A: cablemodem -> router -> computer

 

 

Computer B: ADSL -> computer

 

 

 

Computer A is where I want to do the browsing from and have VNC client.

Computer B, VNC server.

 

 

So, Computer A has a NIC with it's private IP (192.168.1.2) and the router is the gateway (192.168.1.1).

So I have LAN options in A as static, with the router as gateway and dns server.

 

 

Computer B has a public IP, from a different ISP.

 

 

How can I get A to "talk" to B?

 

I was thinking of putting in a second NIC in B, , hook it up to the router, and set up A's router as gateway with a private IP (say 192.168.1.3)

 

 

 

would this work?

 

 

made a little sketch if it helps:

What I think should work:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks guys.

Yes, adding the second NIC to computer B will allow you 'talk' to that computer from Computer A. Make sure you assign a static IP address to the new NIC that's on the same subnet as Computer A and you can then access the second computer using the static IP address.

If you do NOT want computer B to start using the Cable Internet from B, set a static IP on the NIC 2, but leave out the default gateway. That way it cannot try to use it.
