Open files stored on different subnet

Can anyone offer a solution to allow students XP laptops on my network, with a 10.18.x.x address, to open read only files stored in a shared folder on a server with a 10.4.x.x address? i have been told not to add another network card to server (it's a win2003 DC) and FTP doesn't really work without copying the file to laptop first which isn't practical.

thanks 4 any ideas.

will there be any kind of routing through that server and it's new 10.18.x.x  IP address into other shares (or anything else) on the 10.4.x.x network?
on the same issue what NTFS permissions do I need to REMOVE on a shared folder to prevent users not in an 'allowed' group accessing it (everyone\authenticated users?)
 
thanks for the reply
NT ll route between networks - check the routing table (command prompt- ROUTE PRINT) - any routes you don't WANT it to act upon, remove with the ROUTE command.

Permission wise, the easiest way to protect a given Share is to remove the "domain\users" group from it, to do this, you need to go into Advancecd, click the box to STOP it "inheriting" permissions frm above, chooseto "copy" the current perms. When it's finished, remove domain/users, then manually add back in any actual users (or groups) you DO want to be able to use the share.
