Hi,

What I want is to connect 2 computers (work and personal) primary for using a software KVM (Input Director or Synergy). Transferring files between them would be a plus.

The main issue is that the work computer is in a secured enterprise network, and my personal computer is using a 3G+ modem for Internet access. On the work computer I do not have Internet access (only local network).

I want to somehow connect them without to mess up either networks. I want my personal computer to not be seen in the work network. Is it possible?

Suggestions:
- use a simple UTP cable to connect the 2 computers with each other. Can they each be in both 2 networks without issues?
- use some kind of usb cable, if exists
