Connecting two LANs

Please,
I plan on connecting two LANs together via. the internet (public resource). The LANs are across town.
The computers on each LAN will be able to access other(some) computers on the other LAN (and vice-versa), they will still be able to connect to the internet. Basically, they will be able to share resources (files, application etc.)
Undergone some research regarding this, was able to find out that having a VPN connection will be a good way to go. But I have no full knowledge on what hardware I will need. How to start exactly.
If VPN is actually a good way to go, please let me know (maybe some other alternatives).
If I can get a good picture of what to do, will be very happy.
Please, can someone lead me in a good direction. Thank you.

Hi
First of all lets focus on the end points connectivity part.What is the internet terminating onto?Say if its a leased line or a Ethernet or ADSL, then you can directly terminate it onto a cisco router.If its a ethernet connectivity, then I would recommend PIX or ASA.
Secondary we come to the tunnels,i.e, the link between both the offices which should be encrypted.This tunnel will be your pipe.Though a PIX/ASA by default support VPN tunnels and encryptions,you need to have that K9 IOS into the router.
Pls eleborate on the connectivity medium, then it will be easier to suggest you something.
Pls read the text at following link...it will give you a better picture...

  • One Internet Connection, Two different LANS & Two DHCP Servers, How to share internet without conflict?

    I have two LANs and one internet connection.  Each LAN has its own DHCP server.  I want to be able to have internet access on BOTH LANs but don't
    want to have a DHCP conflict between them.
    The main LAN is a Time Warner Cable modem and a Cisco router running DHCP going to a 48 port switch that has all the workstations connected.  
    The second is a stand alone Windows 2012 WDS server which is ONLY use to image computers via WDS. The server is running DHCP as well and is connected to another 48 port switch where I connect systems that need to be imaged.
     I want to be able to provide internet access on LAN with the Windows 2012 WDS server so after I image the computers I can download drivers direct from the internet.   The Windows WDS server has two NIC cards but I am only using one.   Is
    it possible to configure this so the internet from the main LAN is shared to the WDS server and its clients without causing problems with the two DHCP servers?   Here is a basic network diagram.   Thanks!

    Hi Adam,
    To share the internet on secondary VLAN, please follow the steps below:
    Connect the secondary switch to Cisco router
    Configure the devices on secondary VLAN to use Cisco router as its' gateway
    Configure NAT for secondary VLAN on Cisco router
    Due to different manufacturer has different ways to configure, for detailed configuration information, please consult the manufacturer of the switch and router.
    Best Regards.

  • Connecting two remote LANs through a VPN connection

    1)   
    I am trying to interconnect
    two LANs as you see below.
    2)   
    The scenario is to interconnecting two LANs with a
    single domain “domain.local” in order to have
    two domain controllers backing up each other. We already have a Domain Controller “SRVDC1.domain.local” in our local network “LAN1” and another Server which is going to be as both our
    secondary domain controller and VPN Server “SRVDC3.domain.local” in our remote network “LAN2” where is the
    Netelligent Network. I am trying to make these two servers (our two LANs)
    visible to each other by a MikroTik Cloud Router Switch solution.
    3)   
    I am using a
    MikroTik Router as a PPTP Client to VPN to our
    Remote Server SRVDC3 (87.75.45.66/29).
    4)   
    All the computers in
    LAN1, including Server SRVDC1, have a gateway set on “192.168.10.1” which is a
    Asus WiFi Router as a core switch which is connected to our Fiber Optic Translator. <o:p></o:p>
    5)   
    To prevent and minimize any down-time risk during the configuration, I have isolated one computer “table2pc5.domain.local” as sample of the
    whole network; by changing its gateway set to 192.168.10.6 (the
    Ether3-Slave-Lacal-interface on the MikroTikRouter).
    I am going to replace the “Asus WiFi Router” shown in the map, by the
    MikroTik Router later, after making sure that everything would work properly, so, everything is going to be naturalized after.
    6)   
    My
    solution simply can be explained as below:
    a.   
    Providing
    another interface in addition to “Netelligent Network” adapter.
    b.   
    To
    assign a LAN-based IP (in network range 192.168.10.0/24) to the added adapter (Microsoft Virtual Adapter)
    c.   
    Configuring
    SRVDC3 in Netelligent network “LAN2” as
    a Remote Access Server (VPN Server).
    d.   
    To provide a
    MikroTik Router/Firewall on the Edge of the
    LAN1 as VPN Client.
    e.   
    Configure
    MikroTik Router VPN PPTP connection to
    SRVDC3 via the Internet.
    f.     
    To have
    two LANs connected through a permanent VPN connection.

    The node “table7pc2.domain.local” is not able to see<o:p></o:p>
    Now, I would ask you to help me to realise this solution by helping me to find the Bad-Routing problem, and letting me know how to fix it.
    What NAT / Rout Paths or any configuration do I need to make this two LANs visible and recognizable to each other?
    I would introduce you critical nodes which play important roles in this configuration. I have tried to colour-mark them in order to have a better recognition once you take a look at the “Ping Result” table.
    The “Ping Result” table would give you an idea which nodes are able to see which others and where does problem hide itself?

    I got my own answer :D
    1) I have to right-click on my "Routing and Remote Access" Server.
    2) on IPv4 tab, I should define a static IP Pool. I had it done before; but since that I had chosen a wide range as 192.168.11.0/24, every time the router was taking a different IP address; so I should define a very small pool with two 2
    nodes as 192.168.11.1 and 192.168.11.2. In this way, I'll have the local address (router) as 192.168.11.2 and the remote address (my remote server) as 192.168.11.1
    3) After establishment of the PPTP connection successfully, I should add an static route to the "Netelligent Network" adapter. I had it done but in the RRAS routes, so that's why it didn't work. so:
    C:\SRVDC3>_ route -p add 192.168.10.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.11.2
    [Enter]
    Now, I would be able to ping all of the computers whose their gateways are set on 192.168.10 (router)
    and If I wand to see all of the computers  at the first LAN, I have to put my router at the edge of the network, instead of the ASUS WiFi Router, then change it's IP address to 192.168.10.1 or alternatively set all of the computers gateways on 192.168.10.6.

  • Connect two pc's over a lan using labview

    Hi,
    I am trying to connect two pc's over a LAN using ethernet. Both pc's are connected to the LAN and I can ping each one from the other but I cannot get commseither using the visa vi's in labview or  through MAX. In MAX I right clIck 'devices and interfaces' and select create new ->VISA TCP/IP Resource. A dialogue box appears and I select raw socket then click next. I put in the ip address. It looks for a port which I don't know I have tried a few numbers. What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks,
    Steven

    Why don't you just use the TCP functions? There's several shipping examples. I suppose you could write client/server programs with VISA functions but I don't know of any examples of these. You might as well start with something that already exists and modify it for your needs.
    I'm not sure MAX will detect just a pc resource unless you start VISA Server on the remote pc.

  • Can I have two LANs with the same IP route to each other

    Hi there,
    I have a customer who has a televantage voip network on a private 192.68.0.0/24 network but has two sites connected via a wireless tower that wants to enable QOS over between the two sites by using a 2621XM router at each end. I've enabled QOS on both routers for voice and video but haven't deployed this yet since I'm not sure if I need to change one of the sites networks to a different network number since I'll have the routes in place with a 192.168.1.0 on the WAN side. If both remote networks stay with the same number scheme of 192.168.0.0/24 will they be able to find each other when requesting where a remote 192.168.0.0 host is or do I need to change of the offices networks to a 192.168.2.0 network to make this work? Sounds kind of basic but before deploying I wanted to get some input...thanks.

    Routers cannot route unless the address blocks for each interface are different.
    If you have two sites connected by any kind of link, and you'll use one site as a gateay to the Internet, then you'll need at least four different addresses/ blocks:
    The 'b' site LAN, i.e., fa/0/0:192.168.0.0/24
    The 'b' site WAN (interconnecting link), i.e., fa0/1: 192.168.1.1/30
    The 'a' site WAN (interconnecting link), i.e., fa0/1:192.168.1.2/30
    The 'a' side LAN, i.e., fa0/0:192.168.2.0/24
    (assumes that your wireless link is acting as a bridge or non-routing link) - the fa0/1 device connects to the wireless devices).
    If you use the same router on the 'a' side for the interconnecting link for both the 'a' LAN and the Internet gateway, then the third interface would be your Internet WAN address.
    The 'b' side LAN interface is your 'b' side default gateway for you clients
    The 'a' side LAN interface is the 'a' side default gateway for your clients
    Set a default gateway on the 'a' router to the ISPs Default gateway / next hop address.
    If you're using a third router for an Internet gateway, then the LAN interface address becomes the default gateway for the clients on that LAN, and you'll need to set up a static route pointing to the other LAN in the routers that connect the two LANs..
    A routing protocol may be useful but, depending on your actual bandwidth available, it's probably better to just set up static routes (no routing protocol bandwidth utilization).
    The /30 for the WAN link gives some economy of address usage, but it may also secure the link better, since there are no additional addresses for the intruder to use; they'd have to spoof one of the two valid addresses (.1 & .2) as well as crack your encryption (and / or other security).
    There's an armload of other possible configurations / topologies / address schemes, I believe this one would be reasonably common.
    The bottom line is that a router can only route from one address block to another. In order to pass traffic between two segments with the same address block, you need a bridge / switch, or some other layer one/two device (like a wireless transceiver pair).
    Good Luck

  • Competition problem between Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 on Photosmart C5180 connected via LAN

    Hello everyone, I am writing because I need some advice / help on a problem last night while configuring a small network.
    The network is made up as follows:
    2 notebook: Windows 8.1 and Windows 7
    3 different printers:
    2 USB connected to the respective notebook,
    1 HP Photosmart C5180 network printer connected via LAN via a router.
    The situation is the following:
    both notebooks recognize the various printers and are able to send and print documents but,
    when the print command starts from both notebook SIMULTANEOUSLY or at a distance of a few seconds, the only document printed is ALWAYS the one sent from the notebook with WINDOWS 8.1. The other one submitted by WINDOWS 7 IS LOST without being reported.
    So if I ask of you is someone experienced in the print queues, print drivers, competition in the print jobs that can help me in solving this problem.
    Thanks in advance

    Hello cesco,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having a communication issue when attempting to print on two separate printers at the same time.
    This will be a communication issue for sure.  The computer can only send to one printer at a time. You will have to print to one printer, wait for it to finnish the print job and then send it to the other printer. 
    There is no way that you can print from one computer to two separate printers at the same time.
    Thanks for your time.

  • Connecting two SRP527W's

    So I'm trying to connect two SRP527W's.  I have 2 different sites, 2 SRP527W's, 2 ADSL connections.  I deally I would like to connect the 2 sites using an ethernet cable from the back of each SRP.  The reason why I wanbt to do this is that we are located in an area with poor ADSL infrastructure and bandwidth is an issue.  I don't want to share the ADSL connection at each site I just want one site to be able to access the network of the other as they need to access the server.
    Below is my current setup:
    Site 1.
    SRP527W with ADSL connection
    IP: 192.168.15.1
    DHCP Server
    D-Link unmanaged 24 port switch
    15 Computers connected
    Server
    Site 2.
    SRP527W with ADSL connection
    IP: 192.168.1.1
    DHCP Server
    7 computers connected
    Cisco 10 port managed switch
    Is it possible to configure port from the SRP @ Site 2 (not from the switch)  to connect with the server at site 2 without the DHCP interferring and trying to change IP addresses?
    I'm quite new to networking so any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hi Will,
    By default, the SRP issues DHCP address from 192.168.15.100 upwards.  Choose anything from .2 to .99 to statically address your server.
    Not sure about your requirement for connecting the two routers.  Are you suggesting that both devices are close enough (<100m) to connect them via Ethernet on the LAN side of the SRPs?  If so, sure you can do this a number of ways.  Here is just one:
    Make sure that you are using different IP subnets on the two SRPs (ie change the default on at least one of them)
    Create a new VLAN (5 for example) on both routers and assign this as the only VLAN for the ports you wish to connect together.
    Statically assign an IP address from the same subnet to this VLAN on both routers: 192.168.5.1 on one and 192.168.5.2 on the other.
    Create static routes on each SRP pointing to the remote LANs via the other SRP's 192.168.5.x address.
    So you might have:
    192.168.15.x <-> SRP A <-192.168.5.1 ..Ethernet cable.. 192.168.5.2 -> SRP B <-> 192.168.20.x
    At SRP A create route to 192.168.20.0 255.255.255.0 via 192.168.5.2 and at SRP B create a static route to 192.168.15.0 255.255.255.0 via 192.168.5.1.
    Hope that makes sense.

  • What happen when we connect Two PC with IP from Same subnets

    Scenario 2nd : What happen when we connect Two PC with IP from Same subnets. PC1 -192.168.10.1/24 PC2 - 192.168.10.2 on a two different L2 Switch on different vlans which are connected via a LAN cable.
    All ports are access ports
    Interview Question : No More Info.
    Pc1<SwA>------<SwB>PC2
    Q.1 Will they communicate If yes what will be packet/frame flow.
    Q.2 If not where will be the packet/frame drop. ? Why.
    I need step by step if possible plz how the packet moves , vlan taggings n all internal works that happens behind .. plz 
    thnx in advnce ....

    Hi Abhishesk,
    The PCs should communicate each othet.
    Since there is no trunk port involved, there is not tagging involved.
    Since both the PCs are into the same subnet. PC1 will not need default gateway for the communication with PC2. So PC1 will start with sending ARP request for PC2 MAC address.
     Since all the ports in SW1 are in same VLAN, the ARP should reach all ports including the switchport where SW2 is connected to.
    Sw2 has got a complete different access port on ALL the switchports. Sw2 will receive the ARP from Sw1. Remember that there is no tagging for the frame. Hence Sw2 will again send the ARP packet to all the ports which belong to same VLAN wherein the packet is received. ie, Sw2 will send the ARP packet to all the ports in Sw2. PC2 will also get the the ARP.
    The ARP reply will make it way back using the same logic.
    Now both the PCs can start the actual packet exchange.

  • Can I connect two computers to one device?

    Can I connect two computers to one device? I am trying to have them control different aspects of the experiment that I'm running.

    That depends upon the device. If it's GPIB, you could
    use the E-NET card to convert it to LAN. That would
    allow control by many computers. The only problem with
    that might be sychronization. That is, Computer 1 does
    its setup. Then Computer 2 does a reset. Compuer 1's
    setup is now gone.
    As another poster suggested, you could always network
    between the two computers.

  • Could connect two Nexus 5648 to a stack of Catalyst 3750?

    Good Morning,
    Can I connect a two Nexus 5600 (switchs distribution) with switch Catalyst 3750 (switch access)?
    I have tried to integrate the Nexus switch in the network as switch distribution, replacing a Catalyst 6500 switch and does not work. Everything is going very slow. Although all the ping function properly.
    Is there any incompatibility connect two nexus 5648 to a stack of Catalyst 3750 by VPC?
    Thank you.

  • Connecting two WRT54GS to the same (wired) router (non-linksys)

    Due to some security issue I have to connect two WRT54GS to the same wired router.
    Do I connect the first WRT54GS to one port of the router and the second one to another port?
    And is the connection on the WRT the ethernetport or the internetport?
    And can I reach both the configuration screens or do I have to change the
    adress of one of them to e.g. 192.168.1.2 ?
    Regards,
    hENK.  

    I will suggest you to connect the LAN port of wired router to LAN ports of both WRT54GS  ........  Th connectino to WRT54GS is Ethernet Port ......
    Regarding the Ip address of WRT54GS ..... change the Ip address of first wireless router from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.2 ........make the DHCP service disabled ....
    For the other router the Ip address would be 192.168.1.3 ...... DHCP service again disabled .........
    For accessing the set up page of both router use the new Local Ip address.........on the explorer address bar ......

  • Help, Issues Connecting two Wireless Routers

    Ahead of time I would like to thank everyone for their responses and help. I tried to be as clear as possible. I believe I got all the details right. Some things are repetitive and might be a little confusing,  but please ask questions for any clarification. Thanks  for the help. 
    Current Routers:
    1. Linksys WRT600N ---- Used as primary router. Connected to the 4 ports are 3 PCs and a wireless router. All three PC have static IPs I reservered, also have a static IP reserved for the WGT624 wireless router. DMZ is also enabled and destination is the IP reserved for WGT624. 
    2. Netgear WGT624 ----  WGT624 is connected to WRT600N through  the WAN port on the WGT624 to port number X on the WRT600N . I was using Netgear WGT624 as an access point for a Xbox360 , a couple of macs and  ubuntu netbook.  This router recently died needs to be replaced.
    3. Linksys E3000 ---- Recently purchased to replace the Netgear WGT624 that has died. I want to use this as my new access point. Having trouble setting up the settings for this router. I want the same setup as before. 
    Detailed Problem
    I currently have the WRT600N located in the basement connected to a cable modem through the WAN port. Connected to the 4 ports on the back of WRT600N are 3 PCs and a Wireless router. Most of the settings on the WRT600N I left alone. The only thing I changed was reserving 4 IPs for the 3 PCs and the WGT624 wireless router. I also enabled the DMZ for the destination IP of the WGT624.  I also opened a couple of ports.
    The Netgear WGT624 that died was located on the upper level third floor. I was using it primarily as an access point. It was connected through the WAN port  of the WGT624 to port X on the WRT600N which is located in the basement. Settings on this are a little different. On the WGT624 I disabled the firewall. I left both the Auto DHCP enabled and the DHCP server. WPA was enabled on the WGT624. With these settings on the WGT624 I was able to connect to a xbox 360 and a few macs wirelessly to the internet with no issues .  I also noticed that the the internet IP displayed on the status tab on the WGT624 was the IP I had reserved on the WRT600N.  
    Recently the WGT624 died after  years of usage. So I purchased a Linkys E3000. I want to have a similar setup as before with the WGT624. However I have been running into issues. Wirelessly I cannot get access to the internet through the E3000. The E3000 is connected to the WRT600N in the same was as the WGT624. The WAN port of the E3000 is connected to the port number X of WRT600N.  On the status tab of the E3000 I seem to be getting a strange Internet IP address. 127.0.0.1. This I think is a loopback address, I am not sure? Same with the subnet mask of 255.0.0.0
    So the problem is I want the keep the same setup as before if I can. I don't want to the any computers who connect to the access point to have access to any computers that are connected to the 600N.
    I read on another thread I could connect two wireless routers together by connecting port X on the 600N to port X on the E3000.   Then changing the internal IP of the second router from 192.168.1.1 to 198.168.1.2 and then disabling the DHCP server.
    I really want to keep the same set up as before if posslble. More importantly I want to know why my setup prior, the WRT600N  to the WGT624 worked with no problems. Why could I use the WGT624 as an access point and not the E3000? Should I switch the the two routers use the 600N as the access point and E3000 as my main router?
    Thanks again.

    1. You have chained two routers. The WRT600N uses LAN IP address 192.168.1.1 subnet mask 255.255.255.0. The Netgear is connected with the WAN port to the WRT (thus uses an 192.168.1.* address on the WAN port) and uses 192.168.0.1 by default on the LAN side. Your new E3000, however, uses the Linksys default 192.168.1.1 on the LAN side. If you connect the E3000 to the WRT600 without making any changes it won't work. A router cannot work if WAN and LAN side both use 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0. That's impossible.
    2. Thus, the quick and easy setup to get the same as before would be to change the LAN IP address of the E3000 from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.0.1. After that change you can connect the internet port of the E3000 to the WRT and everything works like before.
    3. However, in particular because you need port forwarding and you do port forwarding through two routers I would recommend not to run two routers chained. I can't see why it is necessary for you to run two routers and two separated networks. The basic setup and an explaination why a different setup may be better is here. I think in your case it would make things much simpler and you have full connectivity between all your computers. You can set up a roaming wireless network, too. The only problem is that you will "loose" one port on the E3000 because you cannot use the internet port.

  • Recently bought airport Extreme and have connected the device to the modem. WIFI works. However when I connect the LAN port to a switch I do not see the LAN printer and my NAS. Which setting do I miss?

    I have installed my Airport Extreme and have conencted it directly to a modem. WIFI works fine. However I do not see my LAN network (printer. NAS,..).
    Analysis:
    Scen#1: When I connect the LAN port of the Airport Extreme to a switch (as input) and connect the other LAN devices also to the switch, those LAN devices do not have access to the internet. Also connecting the iPAD with WIFI to the Airport Extreme I cannot find my LAN printer and other devices.
    Scen#2: When I connect the LAN port of the Airport Extreme to a router X (as input) and connect the router X to the same switch, and the LAN devices to the switch, those LAN devices do have access to the internet. Also connecting the iPAD with WIFI to the router X I can find my LAN printer and other devices in the LAN network.
    Question what has impacted the behaviour of the Airport Extreme, not to detect the devices in the LAN network. Why is the use of a switch directly behind the Airport Extreme not working (no internet access for the other devices and Airport Extreme is not the basis station for the LAN network)?

    Your scenario #1 is a correct configuration and should work. It seems as though your Extreme is not acting as a router as I believe you intend.
    Most likely, you need to reset your modem. Power it down and let it rest for a few moments. Some need longer than others. Then, I recommend you "hard reset" your Extreme (see below) and configure it again, after the modem has been reset. From then on do not change what is connected to your modem without powering it down first.
    Once configured, confirm your Extreme's wireless network works as expected and that your iPad and every other wireless device can load web pages. Then, connect the printer directly to one of the Extreme's LAN ports and confirm that it works as well. After that it should work equally well with a switch between it and the Extreme, as should every other wired device connected to the switch. This assumes your switch is an unmanaged device requiring no specific configuration.
    Scenario #2: Having a router connected downstream of another is not a normal configuration, so don't pursue that as a solution. It will only distract you from determining the problem. If you want to repurpose Router X as another device do so only after everything else is working to your satisfaction.
    To "hard reset" an AirPort Base Station: make sure it's powered up, then press and hold its tiny reset button and keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.

  • Connecting two RV082 routers back to back

    I'm looking for instructions on how to setup and connect two RV082 routers together with a crossover cable between their WAN ports.
    This is to connect two separate LANS together via an ethernet connection. For staging we are setting everything up with a crossover cable in our shop.  Ultimately the crossover cable will be replaced by a microwave link between the two LANS several miles apart.  There will be no internet connection.

    Switches would have been a good alternative except we needed 8 ethernet ports, so 16 port swirtches would have been required.  So the cost is about the same in this situation for 8 port routers.
    We have the system working properly now.
    This is what we did:
    On both routers in "Setup: Advanced Routing"  switch from "gateway" to  "router" , enable RIP and set RIP versions for transmit and receive to  RIPv1.
    In "Firewall", disable Firewall
    Then in "Setup: Network" make the following settings;
    Router 1:
    WAN1 IP to static       static      192.168.10.5           with subnet mask of                     255.255.255.252
    LAN IP           to                     192.168.1.1                     with subnet mask of                     255.255.255.0
    Router 2:
    WAN1 IP to static      static     192.168.10.6           with subnet mask of                     255.255.255.252
    LAN IP to                     192.168.2.1                     with subnet mask of                     255.255.255.0
    With these settings, devices connected to router 1 may have static  addresses in range of 192.168.1.2 through 192.168.1.254 and should have  default gateway set to 192.168.1.1
    Devices connected to router 2 may have static addresses in range of 192.168.2.2 through 192.168.2.254
    and should have default gateway set to 192.168.2.1
    Experts may have some comments to make about firewall settings an so forth but this setup does what we want it to do.

  • Windows Databases connectivity on LAN

    OS : WINXP
    Data base : 10.2.0.3
    Connectivity : LAN TCPIP windows domain
    Created 2 databases on the XP system with 2 different users
    LAN Domain User : scott and Database Name : UGC
    local windows user : DBA and Database Name : CGA
    As per my knowledge the Database UGC connected across the LAN network
    Is there any Chance by any user as a domain user on the LAN can connect CGA database also ?
    in case CGA need to be accessed we need to change the local user to domain user.
    is there any other mechanism other than the change of the user ?

    Hi Thanks for reply
    On the windows XP I have 2 users
    SCOTT is a OS level domain user (XP user) which connects to Lan on which I created database name :UGC
    DBA is a OS LEVEL local user pertain to the xp user on which I created database CGA
    I am not referring to database users
    both has different listners and tns running on different ports 1521 and 1522Ok understood. So how do they login to the database.
    That means they both are using sqlplus / as sysdba.
    Anyways login to the database does not depends on whether he is a local user or domain user.
    Login to the database can be done only in two ways.
    1) By knowing the userid/password of the database to which you login (Authentication is done by Oracle database)
    2) By login to the machine(Locally or remote machine) and then trying to login to the database(without giving password to the database).(Authentication was done by the machine)
