Cross-network remoting in .NET

I'm doing a sample in .NET remoting. I want to know is it possible to exchange data between a computer in my network to a computer in another network?

Even if you can use .NET remoting between networks (and I suspect it can), there a few things to consider:

  • the firewalls may not make it especially convenient
  • .NET remoting is deprecated
  • .NET Remoting provides no security or intergrity

See MSDN:

This topic is specific to a legacy technology that is retained for backward compatibility with existing applications and is not recommended for new development. Distributed applications should now be developed using the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF).

Personally, I would look (as suggested) at WCF for your cross-network IPC needs.
