Hello,
First hope that I'm not causing heaache for you...

If not please continue...

I'm building up another Domain(no forests and no trees), that domain will be in another location.

So I'll have two local area networks, where each of them is in a totally different and distant location.

Is it possible to connect the two LANs via Internet(for saving purposes), keeping in mind that both running WIN2003, DC(AD),DHCP,DNS,RRAS...
And that in order to make any user on one LAN access the other LAN, and if yes, where this could be configured ?

Or I've to have a special dedicated line for this purpose, like leased etc...

Greetings..

It is definitely possible. But I would suggest hiring a network consultant to set it up right.

Hi, Flintstones,
If you are interested, here is a site that explains connecting two private LAN's to the internet:
http://www.tomsnetworking.com/Sections-article55.php
The site contains about 5 different pages of explanations.
I do wish you the best.

I believe Fred misread your question. Your question was about connecting 2 LANS VIA the Internet, not sharing the Internet between 2 LANs. Basically you are trying to create a Wide Area network (WAN). And again, I suggest using a pro to set it up right.

Hello,
Some more questions please,,

1. Is it something that has to be configured only by the ISP ?
2. Or is it possible from the RRAS ?

Greetings

Actually its not something that has to do with the ISP at all. Generally 2 LANs are connected over the Internet using a VPN. But setting up a VPN is not the easiest of tasks depending on the needs for intercommunication.

Greetings,
Thanks for the answers, and I've red the Help in the RRAS and I knew how to do it.

Thanks again for your efforts...

Glad to assist

Hi, Flintstones,
I'm really glad you got it worked out, and know how to do it.
I do wish you the very best of luck.

I'm sure you meant that, but it would have been nice if you apologized for misunderstanding his question and sending him to a site that didn't deal with his question. I know I would have (and, in fact have done so) in similar situations.

Hi Flint,

I think you may have misunderstood what I was getting at here. Yes we all make mistakes, that's one of the reasons questions should be kept public, so peer review can catch them. We tend to learn more from our mistakes.

My point, is that we should acknowledge our mistakes. There was a similar situation a couple of months back where I misread a question and gave a misleading answer. As it happened Fred was the one to point it out. As soon as realized my error I apologized to the asker and did some further research to get a better answer. Its clear that Fred did misunderstand your question. All I was suggesting is that it would have been nice of him to apologize for it.

P.S. this is the thread I specifically referred to:

As can be seen I goofed. It was pointed out to me and I apologized and tried to make up for it. All I'm suggesting is that others should react similarly when they are caught in an mistake.
