Yes they are on the same subnet, but there is no direct connect only via the router. I would like to do a direct connect between them just for the VNC and would have to be on another subnet (as I see it) , thus all the questions (I'm learning). Thanks, Mike
If they are on the same subnet, both connecting through the router to the internet, you can already connect through the router's switch. They don't need a direct connection. It is probably a 100Mbps network, and should easily handle the bandwidth.

If they are on the same subnet then it would have to look like this: internet or firewall | | router __| | ____ subnet 182.168.1 | | subnet 192.168.1 Under this layout the router would not know which subnet to route to. It must there for either be different subnets or both machines are connected to the same interface and therefor can talk to each other without having to access the router.
