Windows 10: PC to PC On Different Subnet. Is It Possible? Should I?

Hi everyone. First time here.

I finally have a router that uses VLAN's. My VLAN's are all separated with a few firewall rules that accept certain rules between certain subnets. I am using the VLAN's for security purposes in hopes of isolating a problem from infecting my entire network.
I have two PC's on separate subnets that I would love to be able to transfer files one way only. In other words only from PC-A to PC-B and never the other way. B to A.
One PC is W10 and the other is Linux. I can run a Samba server on the Linux machine to see the files on W10. Directions are here.
Since I have moved the two PC's to different subnets, I can no longer see the shared folder on PC-A from PC-B.

My questions are these;
1. If I do find a way to transfer files from A to B will this make my security measures with regards of separating the VLAN's meaningless?
If this is true I will probably keep my air gap and transfer files from A to B with a USB device.
2. Does anyone know of a way to have PC-B see a shared folder on PC-A and pull files from A to B. Again both PC's are on different subnets?

Any help and your thoughts are appreciated.
Thank you.

PC Build Steps

Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval

• Install system in case
  • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
• Turn on PC
• setup HDD
• run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
  • run realtemp at the same time

• While in Prime95 test
  • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
  • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
  • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!

What do you guys think??

 

Dual NIC No Network Browsing on one Subnet


Hello,

I just finished updating from Windows 7 to Windows 10. My PC has a dual NIC and I am connected to two subnets. I am fully able to browse subnet A, the same as I could in Windows 7.

However, I am unable to automatically browse subnet B. I previously could in Windows 7.

In other words, when I go to "Network" on windows 10, all the Computer names on subnet A get populated. None of those on subnet B appear. However, if I manually type in the name of a device on subnet B (\\DEVICENAME) it will open it and I can browse the contents.

I had no problem in Windows 7 with browsing both subnets. I suspect there is a setting or difference in Windows 10, but I'm unable to find it. I've checked and the Computer Browser service is running, but it seems to only list PC's connected to the one NIC (subnet A) and not the other.

Any ideas?
