Multinet Communication
Was wondering something; say you have a multinet with some clients using 192.168.2.1-254 addresses and other using 192.168.3.1-254 addresses, how do these clients manage to communicate with one another if they logicaly configured as different networks?

Through a routing device, which for example can be a station with two NICs connected to each logical subnet but to the same physical network (ie. switch/hub), or an actual router with a single physical connection and two virtual sub-interfaces.
I'm updating the Network+ TCP/IP TechNotes at this moment, and stumbled on an interesting article that relates somewhat to your question:
