Question

How do I allow one computer to use another network of a different IP scheme

Asked by: aspen_prop

Ive attached a diagram to help explain my situation

Network A is part of a corporate network. The PIX is assigning IPs to the users through DHCP. These users are connected to our main office through a VPN tunnel. The IP scheme for this network is 10.55.55.X, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0

Network B is a Workgroup network that is not currently attached to the internet. We have a need for Computer C to access the internet. The other computers on that network do not need any access, but they still need to be able to communicate with computer C. The IP scheme of this network is 10.0.0.X with a subnet of 255.255.255.0

So my question, what is the best way of joining the networks so computer C can get out to the internet? We have evaluated changing the IP scheme of Network B, but that would be too labour intensive and costly. I do know that there are no restrictions when it comes to a workgroup computer using the corporate network. Computer C does not need access to any files or folders, only to the outside world. I believe this situation requires a managed switch or router?
