Merging two seperate networks HELP!

My company has two networks. One is a domain, one is a file
server/workgroup, both connected to the same Cisco1760 router.

My boss asked me to look into being able to combine or add them together.

I understand that subnetting maybe a possibility, however, I was hoping
there maybe a

more simple solution...Since subnetting is over my head.......

Thanks in advance,

Sounds like you don't even understand what subnetting means, let alone how
to do it.

Subnetting means to break up into diffrent sub networks from one larger
address space.

It sounds like your boss wants all the machines merged into a single domain.

I really am astounded that someone with no concept if networking can have a
job where this is a requested task when I see so many good network techs out
of work.

I am sorry if that seems harsh but I have little to no patience for someone
who says that something as simple as subnetting is way over thier head. It
is just simple math. You don't even have to know the math if you can use a
calculator.

Domains are not networks and workgroups are not networks, they are both
Administration Models. There is no way to really answer this.

Cisco1760? Depends on why it is there and what it is really doing. It also
depends on how many hosts are on each IP Segment (assuming there really are
two IP Segments) as to whether this whole thing is even a good idea to start
with. There is still no real way to answer this.

Maybe all he needs to do is make the workgroup name the same as the
domain name! Sounds like thay are on the same subnet/segment.

Wow Manny that's pretty rude. I thought the whole point of newsgroups was to
share ideas and help each other out with problems they are experiencing. I
didn't know it was to judge people by their knowledge and understanding of
subnetting. He had a simple problem that he wasn't sure what to do with and
asked for advice not to be insulted for it. Weren't you ever told that if
you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all??

Might be rude.

My point is that there is a basic level of knowledge that a computer
professional needs to have before they should be getting their hands dirty.

The poster not only asked a question that had no valid answer, but was also
totally incomprehensible.

I exchanged email with the person and you want to know what?

He is an HR guy trying to get the answers to a preinterview screening so he
could hire a new tech person to do this work. He didn't want to be
responsible for hiring someone who would simply lie and say they could do
what they were required to do. (My theory is that is what he did)

But that's besides the point.

You want to see rude?
Go to a car enthusiasts site and ask them if putting gas in your tank on
Wednesdays will make your brakes stop squeaking.

When someone is unwilling to take a little ownership of their own knowledge
and development then why should I care about their feelings?

And in specific response to your comments ,
I appreciate your viewpoint, and I can understand what you are trying to
say. But I simply do not agree.
My belief is that there is a difference between helping someone who is
genuine in their quest for a solution and in being an enabler for morons.

Electricians (and maybe Plumbers) are licensed to do their jobs to
demonstrate they know what they are doing. I think IT jobs should be the
same way. The Certs come close to that but they just don't quite do the
job. If an Electrician screws up a building can burn down,..a Pumbers
screws up a local environmental mess can occur. But if an IT guy screws up
a finacial disaster or security disaster (business, government, military,
etc) can occur and be very far reaching, maybe even global. I agree
perfectly that there needs to be a basic level of understanding before
someone is allow to touch IT systems,..and I get a "bit" impatient with them
when that isn't there. This isn't the "homeuser.windows.server.networking"
group.
