How are you connecting the computer to these networks? Dialup? WiFi?
Ethernet? Are both connected the same way?
Which OS? Do the two networks use static addressing or dynamic addressing?
If dynamic, DHCP, right?
You don't need the answers to all of these questions to refine the choices
but the more info, the better. But, tell what you know so far.
