Re: sharing files between to private networks in the same building

hi,
another thing that you have to consider - the rights to shares.
you will can give access to users on that local server, or if theese 2
networks are on 2 separated domains then you can make a routing and create a
trusted connections.

No two networks can share files if they are isolated and secure. Yhe only
way for a network to be isolated and secure is by not connecting it to
anything! It is secure but pretty limited.

If you connect two networks with a router they become essentially one
network. Neither can be more secure than the other and both are probably
less secure than before.

You will also find that simply installing a router connected to both
networks will not automatically give you routing between the two networks.
If the machines in each network are configured to use some other device
(such as an Internet router) as their default gateway, no traffic will ever
get to your internal router. You will need to add static routes so that
traffic for the private networks goes to your internal router, not to the
gateway router.

I want to share files between 2 private networks. Each network has its
own dhcp server, router, etc. and they wish to keep it that way. The
networks are close enough to run a cable between. Would it be possible
to install 2 nics in a server and share the files that way while
keeping each network isolated from the other?

I wouldn't put two NICs in a domain controller, otherwise you will be
inviting trouble. You can do it with a non domain controller, such as a
member server or even a non-member. You can also (recommended) purchase a
dedicated router.

Thanks for replying.
We'd be using a standalone server for this. I just want to make sure
that each network is iosolated and secure from the other and that both
will be able to access a common share.
