Connecting 2 PC's on Separate Networks..

To give a quick overview of what I have.. I have 5 IP addresses from my ISP.. So at my business I have a switch hooked up to the cable modem.. And three routers hooked up to the switch.. Each router has a public IP from the ISP.

I would like to learn how to use one pc thats connected to the switch to launch the character sets on pc's hooked up to the other routers.. Not sure if that made sense to me......lol.. Anyways, I'm tired, catch your response in the morning..

The personal use license for Inner Space allows you to use PCs at the same physical location...

I can't teach you networking in a short post but your options are to set up a Computer in ISBoxer with the IP Address filled in or to use a VPN.

I found it. But when I try either public (router ip) or private pc ip, neither work.. Is there something I must do on the router to allow the connection? I use a netgear wndr3700.

Re: Connecting 2 PC's on Separate Networks..

I tried that.. Read everything on the subject on the link provided... The problem is emboldened below.

"Right click on Computers at the top in ISBoxer, and select Start Multiple Computer Helper, on each PC. This will allow other computers running ISBoxer on your local network to detect and communicate with each other. "

Each router I have is its own local network.. I'm no network geenie, so I would need some explanation on how to connect to a computer on another network.... Basic image of my setup below. I want to connect PC-Prime to PC-5.....

Re: Connecting 2 PC's on Separate Networks..

Yeah I mean it's a cool story but as I previously hinted in this thread, from my POV this isn't an appropriate topic for the ISBoxer forums.
