Networks on different subnets

[jammydodger]

How can I get two networks on different subnets to communicate?

they need to be connected by a router or a gateway. Youll need to setup the routing table if the router doesnt do it for you. Never done it before but if you google it im sure youll get an answer

Cheers man, my Dad suggested I use one of my computers as the gateway and give it 2 network cards. Would this work 2?

That should work fine. I'd put a linux distro on it and make 2 static routes so you are guarenteed communication between the 2 subnets. Windows will do static routes too but linux is a much more reliable os for the task.
