Router question

[clinton23 0]

I want to connect two networks together.

One is in one city, and the other is somewhere else.

Network 1 has a router that routes traffic to the ISP, and is the DHCP server.

Network 2 does the exact same thing.

But the BDC on Network 1 cannot find the PDC on Network 2.

I have setup LMHOSTS and WINS.

I can now find the PDC's computer with NetBOIS names (ie. \\pdc).

But when I open server manager or user manager, it cannot locate the PDC.

What am i doing wrong.

How do I make two remote locations a LAN?

 

Misc info:

NT4 Server

Netopia routers

DSL

Tried static IP's

I could be wrong butI believe you are going to have to "tunnel" across the 'net to get it to appear as a LAN. Now VPN is a cranky beyatch so you are going to have to do some serious matching in regards to your hardware supporting VPN (routers,etc).

PPTP/VPN should do the trick.

Me again.

You will find an illustration of what you want to do there: http://www.helmig.com/j_helmig/vpn.htm

This does not tell how to do it precisely but confirms PPTP/VPN could be a workable solution to your prob
