Hello boys and girls

 

I have the following situation:

I've built a house near my parents house. During construction i layed a Cat6A cable to physically connect the two houses. Both have their own modem (different provider) and router.

 

My goal is to give my parents access to my server.

 

How can I do that?

ima thinking you should just be able to connect the cable to their router and your server should show up as a network location and they should be able to access it.

to clarify: I still need access to the server for myself. So it needs to be in both networks.

 

If I just connect the two networks, I'll end up with two DHCPs running in the same network.

 

One idea would be to add another network card to the server, so it can be in both networks.

Adding another NIC is the easiest solution. Running 2 DHCP servers in the same network is a bad idea.

Especially when working with Active Directory DNS. Because it will conflict on both IP addresses.

Or consider sharing an internet connection. Switch to just the one connection, upgrade it to handle usage and share the cost. 

Then you just have the one network running and it's a simpler approach. 

 

Alternatively, add a second NIC to your server to allow access that way.
