In the Windows world, there is also the Route Add command. Open a command
prompt window and type Route ? for help. I recall using it to solve a
similar problem and not having to establish a fixed IP address as David
recommends.

Occasionally I run into a situation where I need to talk to devices that
have a different subnet than my network. It seems from what I've read
that I should be able to add a route in order to connect, but I can't
get it to work.
Let's say that my subnet is 200.100.0.0 mask 255.255.254.0 . I need to
connect to device (in this case a printer) with an address of
192.168.0.186 . My PC's address is 200.100.0.254 .
What do I need to do to accomplish this?
