Greetings. Here is the story. There are two home networks consisting of several winboxes and a linux gateway. Both gateways are interconnected through a gre tunnel over the internet. The proper routing and firewall rules are applied, as a result everybody can reach everybody, dynamic port applications work without restrictions etc. But from all the reading I've done there should be more to it. It appears that it is possible to present both networks like one big ethernet segment from windows clients' point of view. So windows sharing can browse all the PCs in a workgroup (given broadcasting can be passed through the tunnel and rerouted), or even IPX frames can be relayed as all the machines are on one ethernet. I would appreciate any suggestions, links to readings or abything similar. It appears this application of vlans is very poorly documented...
