Hi David,
Thank you for posting here!
I wonder if the two computers are located in the same place. If so, I
believe Robert's suggestion will be a good suggestion. However, if the two
computers are located in different place, you may set up VPN Server in one
network. And then you can let the other computer in another network to act
as a VPN client and dial into the VPN Server.
For the detailed steps on how to setup VPN Server, you may visit the below

Have a nice day!

| Hi All,
|
| I'd appreciate your input into the following scenario:
|
| Two computers are set up to access the internet through a dedicated
hardware
| firewall
| and adsl modem.
|
| The two computers are networked with two different subnets.
|
| As one of the 'puters is a home PC and the other is a work PC, I'd like
the
| two to be as
| 'separate' as if they were two 'puters on the internet....
|
| If I have each 'puter set up on a different subnet, can they 'talk' to
each
| other ?
|
| What is the best way to isolate them from each other ?
| Can I utilise the firewall to isolate them from each other ?
|
| The work 'puter will be set up to VPN to the office.
|
| Many thanks,
|
| David
