In an office, there was a room with existing pcs on a lan with network
of 192.168.0.0 and I had to setup 4 pcs in another room which were to be
a seperate group. So I gave a different network id to this group and got
them talking on a lan switch. However the printer was a lan based one on
the first network so I linked the two switches with a cable. However I
could not ping the other network. Ultimately I had to use the first
network id itself and have seperate workgroups.
Thats why I am wondering how you could directly talk to a foreign
gateway that does not share your network id.
What do you mean by explicit route? Normally a router links 2 different
networks.
