Linking two networks

Unlike when accessing the Internet, all of the IP addresses in the involved
networks are visible on the remote side when coupling networks, not just
those of the router. The computer with the IP address 10.0.2.10 in the branch
office LAN sees the server 10.0.1.2 in the headquarters and can access it
(assuming it has the appropriate rights), and vice versa.
DNS access to the remote LAN
Thanks to DNS, it is not only possible to access remote computers in a TCP/
IP network via their IP address, but also by using freely defined names.
For example, the computer with the name 'pc1.branch.company' (IP 10.0.2.10)
will not only be able to access the server of the head office via its IP address,
but also via its name, 'server.head.company'. The only precondition: the
domain of the remote network in the wizard must be specified.
The domain can only be specified in the LANconfig wizard. In WEBconfig,
enter the appropriate information later in the expert configuration. For more
information, see the LANCOM reference manual.
