Hey, urgent help required
I'm trying to find out how to connect two sites (ie in 2 different towns) over a wan link.
Each site has about 50 computers. Routers and switches will be used to configure subnets within each site! And need to know any protocols or services that the routers can provide!
If anyone has a suggestion(s) on how this could be done etc then please post a reply (as soon as poss would be good if possible, sorry if im being cheeky there)

Which routers are you using? What type of wan connection? Post model numbers and brands for the routers. If you still need to buy any, make sure they support vpn tunnels between them. Also you might want to get a public ip address for each router.
The more information is posted, the better an answer you can get.

Connect two remote sites...in a word (acroynym) VPN.
Summary: You can network 2 computers using a coaxial cable and you won't need a hub but you will need a network card in each computer. Set both computers up like a normal network and connect them with a coaxia...
