Have you ever ran into a problem where you had two windows boxes that were on different sub nets on the same physical LAN and you needed to establish temporarily communication? Say you have these two computers with the following ip addresses. Computer 1 172.16.1.2 Computer 2 192.168.100.1 So what we are going to do is tell each computer that in order to get to the other computer they have to go out their local interface. Open a command prompt and run each of the following commands on the respective computer. Computer 1 route add 192.168.100.1 MASK 255.255.255.255 172.16.1.2 Computer 2 route add 172.16.1.2 MASK 255.255.255.255 192.168.100.1 This now should allow for communication to occur. I wrote a batch file to help with adding the route command @echo off echo -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Echo Created By Tony Unger Echo *******************************************************************
