Can someone pleaase explain some networking points to me.

We have two locations home & remote
We have two types of servers Windows and Unix

Home site ip address

We have 2 windows servers with two Nic's.
1 nic is on the 192.* range
1 nic on the 10.* range

address'
10.10.*.*
subnet 255.255.254

192.168.1.*
subnet 255.255.255.0

Remote site ip address

We have 2 windows servers with two Nic's.
1 nic is on the 192.* range
1 nic on the 10.* range

address'
10.15.*.*
255.255.254

192.168.2.*
255.255.255.0

-----------------------------------------------

I can ping the remote site on the 10.15.* address range but not on the 192.* from my Windows servers.

I can ping the remote site on both the 192 and 10 networks from my unix box.

Is this because they are on different subnets or because i have 192.168.1 on home site and 192.168.2 on remote site?
Is it do with gateways?

Thanks to all who take time to read/reply

If you open a command window and use the command:

tracert 192.168.2.x

See where the last point the route fails.
That is where the issue is and is most likely because the Windows system is unable to route traffic to the system. Is the Unix and Windows system using the same DNS?
