Chapter 5: Linking two networks

From the main menu, launch the 'Connect two local area networks' wiz- ard. Follow the wizard's instructions and enter the required information.

The wizard will return a message to indicate that it has all the information it needs. Close the wizard with Terminate.

After finishing the configuration of both routers, you can test the network connection. Try to contact a computer in the remote LAN (e.g. with a ping). The LANCOM router should automatically set up a connection to the remote station and contact the required computer.

Ping – quick testing for TCP/IP connections

To test a TCP/IP connection, simply send a ping from your computer to a computer in the remote network. For more information on the 'ping' command, please see the documentation of your operating system.

IPX and NetBIOS connection can be tested by searching for a remote Novel Server or a computer in the remote Win- dows workgroup from your computer.
