Narrative:

While discussing our flight route, first officer was hand-flying aircraft. Inattn to current altitude caused us to overfly to 16400 ft MSL. Cleared altitude was 16000 ft MSL. Altitude alert sounded and descended back to 16000 ft. In addition, we were in another controller's airspace but had not been handed off. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following: call was made regarding reporter's comment they were in another controller's airspace but had not been handed off. He said that when they called ATC about their altitude deviation, the controller said they should be on another frequency.
