Hi There

We have one office of about 4 PC's in one location that all belong to the same workgroup, connected wirelessly together through a US Robotics ADSL Router.

We have another office setup exactly the same as the one above in a totally different location.

Is there anyway we can join the PC's from Office 1 and Office 2 over the adsl connection to all be in the same workgroup, so we can share folders / printers etc. with both offices.

Is this possible to achieve with what we already have, if so how would we do this?

If not what do I need?

Thanks in advance.

Unless you bought something crazy (I've never heard of an ADSL Router), you should have the 2 routers connected using a wireless bridge. The ADSL Modem goes into one of the routers, and then the whole thing is a connected network. Simple.

I believe what mooman2004 is trying to say is that they have two workgroups, both having the same workgroup name and (private, I assume) IP addressing schemes, on two distance-separated physical LANs, which both connect to the Internet via DSL, and that they would like to basically span/connect the workgroups across the Internet.

I misread, sorry about that! I think the only way to do that would be to set up a VPN.
