Connecting 2 offices together on same subnet.

[JXBURNS]

We currently use BT Business Broadband at our premises and allow a remote PC to connect to our server via VPN & RDP without any problem.

We are now setting up another office in the same town which will also have BT Business Broadband installed and no more than 2 PC's. We want to be able to have those computers in the 2nd office talk to the server at the 1st office preferably without having to use VPN or RDP any more such that they effectively appear on the same subnet and can log onto the server as a domain member.

I understand that the BT routers can be set to link together via a static route process but I am not sure how to set this up on the BT hub so that not only can the two offices work off same subnet but both still access the internet. I know how to do this on other router hardware - just not on the 2700HGV which is what we have at both locations.

Is this possible and any guidance on what to do?

Thanks - John

Hello,

Static routes are for different subnets to talk to each other so it's not really applicable in this case.

You can either:

Run a physical cable from one site to the other and connect it to a switch.

Setup a VPN

Why don't you want to use a VPN? it's the cheapest and most secure way.
