 I am in a precarious situation :
 One fine morning , my boss pulled out a cable to
 connect the 2 switches (1 switch for one LAN).
 This may be what it looks like :

 (machines                       (machines
 10.10.1.*)                      192.255.255.*)
 [switch1]  -------------------- [switch2]
  |                               |
  LAN1's                          LAN2's
  computers                       computers
  connected                       connected
  to this switch                  to this switch
  
 
 This choice came out of the blue and I do not
 have time to work out my basics right !

 I am too tensed up to think. My thinking is
 I will have to get the 192.255.255.*  LAN
 over to 10.something.something.something .

 One is Class A , the other is Class C ,
 so may be I will make all of them onto
 Class A.

 Well , my boss wants the Proxy (to the Internet)
 {and later the firewall which I will then ask you}
 to be on 192.255.255.1 . That means the
 10.10.1.* guys will have to reach the other LAN
 via the switch and then use the Proxy.

 Is my line of thinking right ? ie: Converting the Class C
 -based LAN2 's IP Addresses over to the 10.*.*.*  ,
 so that both Windoze and Linux can see LAN2 .

 Please share your views and experience on this.

 Warm Regards,
 Shyam
