Remote desktop through 2 routers
Hi, I have a working VPN connection into my network but have a number of other computers that are connected to an additional router, inside the same network, with a seperate set of IP addresses. How can I get to those computers using Remote Desktop? I can see the other computers in front of the second router just fine. Thanks in advance.

This solution is only available to members.

you have to make your both routers ip address in one range like
Router 1 = 192.168.0.20
Router 2 = 192.168.0.21
and if you enabled your DHCP from Router try to Enable from one router Like Router1 DHCP Enabled
and disable your DHCP on Router 2
if you have DHCP from Windows then no problem
1) Start >
2) Run >
3) Type mstsc.exe >
4) type your client IP Address >
5) Enter, Finish

So you can ping them I assume ?
So if ping and tracert is all ok:
on your remote desktop connection if you type in the ip address instead of a name so we don't have to worry about DNS do you get any errors. ?
