ok here is my current setup.

1 x VM connection.
1 x ukonline connection.
router for ukonline ip 192.168.1.254
router for VM ip 192.168.1.1
so both routers same subnet.
laptop connected to ukonline router
desktop pc 1 connected to VM router
xbox360 connected to VM router.
desktop pc 2 connected to nowhere at the moment isnt often used

My theory is I can very easily get my laptop and desktop pc 1 talking to each other simply by connecting a cable between both routers, since they all on the same subnet thats all I need to do.

am I right or is something else required?
