What I would recommend is a site to site VPN tunnel. This will allow traffic on both internal networks, but nothing from the outside. So long as your two endpoints can connect to each other, you should be good to go. Note, you might have to alter your static routing table if the IPs on Net B are on a different subnet.<br />
<br />
Good Luck.

How many machines on each end? &nbsp;Using Hamachi from Logmein is a very simple and convenient way of doing this.

sorry for delay... but everything is working fine. IPsec is done!

Hello Guys,<br />
<br />
I'm looking for a way to persistantly connects two offices together.<br />
<br />
Site A<br />
<br />
ADSL connection<br />
1 Fixed IP<br />
I have control over this network<br />
Router Vigor 2820<br />
<br />
Site B<br />
<br />
Broadband connection provided by the office/building (trying to find out the upload and download speed)<br />
I don’t have control over this network<br />
Router Vigor 2820<br />
<br />
My plan is:<br />
<br />
Can I setup a VPN LAN-to-LAN PPTP from Site B to dial Site A?<br />
On site B the router will be connected to the internet via WAN2 port? <br />
If so... Do I require any specific port(s) open on their firewall?<br />
<br />
Please advise.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
Rod<br />

Hello Guys,

I'm looking for a way to persistantly connects two offices together.

Site A

ADSL connection
1 Fixed IP
I have control over this network
Router Vigor 2820

Site B

Broadband connection provided by the office/building (trying to find out the upload and download speed)
I don’t have control over this network
Router Vigor 2820

My plan is:

Can I setup a VPN LAN-to-LAN PPTP from Site B to dial Site A?
On site B the router will be connected to the internet via WAN2 port? 
If so... Do I require any specific port(s) open on their firewall?

Please advise.

Thanks,

LAN to LAN over INTERNET

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Routers

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.
