Answer 2

Depending on the nature of the host computers, there are tons of ways to connect them.

* The internet

* Wireless

* dedicated phone line (pay mal bell for a leased line, which costs like $ 1,000.00 a month)

* dial up connection

* hard wire ... if the 2 computers are in reasonable proximity to each other

* CISCO equipment on one with certain code numbers that you can change ... you give out the encryption to trusted people, then later you can change the numbers ... if you give different codes to different people, you can pull the plug at any time only on certain people

* Various connection protocols that were invented before the world wide web was invented, but which still work.

Answer 3

Am I correct in assuming that the two domains are not connected in any way, so that you can not establish a trust relationship?



Then you would allow them access from the Internet, not their domain.

Answer 4

Only if one of the following scenarios exists:



1) The domains are trusted

2) They have an account in both domains and there is a share enabled on your server

3) They are a domain admin or a local admin to your domain and they can connect to the administrative share.

Answer 5

Yes, but its no simple task. You have to setup rights on the first server to allow the other domain access.

Answer 6

If they have no access to your network then it is impossible for them to connect to your domain and see your folders.
