Computer on 1 network talk to a computer on another w/o VPN?

Post by kopfconsulting » Tue Nov 04, 2014 4:01 am

In our office we have a primary internet connection and a backup connection that is currently unused. I'd like to figure out if it's possible for one or more computers on our network to use the backup connection instead of the main connection and still have access to the other computers on the network (ie File Server).

In other words, we have two completely separate internet connections (think Cable and DSL). The computers here don't need to be able to access both internet connections but I'd like one or two computers to use the backup connection only AND still have access to the rest of the network. Is this possible without using VPN?
