atari37 Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 Scenario: I have a File Server on network1. This file server has shared drive mounted on other PC's on the same network as Network Drives. I have a couple of PC's on network2 that I would like to access the the network drives. Is it possible to mount shared drives on a PC's that are not on the same network.Network1 and Network2 have different subnets and gateway. Thanks I guess this also applies to if I"m in New Jersey and I have Verizon as my internet provider, can I mount a shared drive on my friend's PC in New York who is using Comcast as their internet provider.
IcemanND Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 If he has his router set up to allow the sharing ports to be forwarded then yes.
fizban2 Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 if you both have Internet IPs yes, if you have internal NAT Ips (192.168.x.x) then no, you would need something to connect you two to each other. hamachi is a free VPN type tool that would do what you are looking for
