Connecting two networks..

I have a small body shop with 5 computers on a WIN 2000 server IP ranges
192.168.1.1 to .10 I have a dsl link to the internet. A business partner
who has a wrecker service has the same set up with IP ranges 10.0.0.1 to .50
.. Our goal was to connect the 2 networks by WIFI. We are line of sight at
only 500 feet. I set up a Cisco Aironet 1200 as a access point. We installed
a Cisco Aironet 350 bridge at his shop. Now the problem,,,how do we connect
the two networks together with our networks being on two different ip
ranges. Were new to WIFI and are trying to at least hit the ground running.
I can hook up one of my computers at his shop and connect to my shops
network through the 350 bridge so the WIFI is up and running... Please help
two Tim Taylors before we blow something up.

Wireless is a security risk to say the least about it. Wireless may be
fine in a closed network environment with a couple machines being
wireless on the closed network.

If you're two Tim Taylors on this, then you both may be two Tim Taylors
on the security aspects and risks on even protecting the networks.

This is just some *strong* advise, but it may be better if you both seek
some professional advise/help in connecting the two networks, before you
both proceed any further and wind-up having your businesses *hacked* to
death.

Several options:

1) Change the subnet mask so they are all the same. Probably the
simplest thing to do.
2) Use a router with NAT behind the bridge. Linux works nicely or you
could buy a cheap router, and connect to the bridge.
3) Maybe the bridge has an option to NAT the other subnet. Check your
docs.
4) You could setup routing tables manually. However this is
complicated.

Good luck, and make sure you setup security for the wireless network
and each local computer. Just search google and this newsgroup. At the
minimum!

I think you have a lan for interconnecting your two sites as 192.168.250.0
aironet 1 192.168.250.1, aironet 2 192.168.250.2
then you just have to declare routes on your wifi aironet :
on aironet 2(lan 192) put the route : route add 10.0.0.0 mask 255.255.0.0
<192.168.250.1>
on aironet 1 (lan 10) put the route : route add 192.168.0.0 mask
255.255.255.0 <192.168.250.2>
and then on your computers :
- on your lan : add gateway for 10.0.0.0 as on your wifi router (lan ip
adress of your wifi router : 10.0.0.X)
- on his lan : add gateway for 192.168.0.0
if the wifi router is not your default gateway

Be care of security
Anybody can connect on your network if you have no wep key.

They have IP ranges 192.168.1.1 to .10 and IP ranges 10.0.0.1 to .50 - so
#1 won't do anything

Perhaps you meant say change the netwowk numbering so they are in the same
subnet?

I.E. 192.168.1.1 to .10 and 192.168.11 to .60

That's exactly what I meant. Subnet mask was incorrect.

Thanks for pointing that out.
