Setting up a WAN

Hello All.....

We currently have a LAN setup with a Portmaster IRX-211/Adtran CSU/DSU
combo serving as our Frame Relay gateway to the world. The public side of
the 211 is our web server, and the private side is our corporate LAN. Our
next step is to subnet our network further and link an offsite location to
the private side of our corporate LAN via a Portmaster IRX-114/Adtran
CSU/DSU combo at the coporate office (want expansion for additional WANs)
and a Portmaster OR-HS/Adtran CSU/DSU combo at the offsite location. Both
networks are Microsoft networking based (Win 95 and NT Workstation) and
will or do have NT Server machines connected.

The configuration of the two routers appears fairly straight forward.
However, I have two questions regarding this architecture:

1. Are there any special things I need to be aware of when configurating
the routers? Chapter 16 in the Portmaster Configuration Guide seems pretty
clear.

2. I have a requirement to be able to browse all computers on both subnets
from either subnet (i.e. see all the computers in Network Neighborhood) and
attach to public directories on any machine, etc. Will I need to do
anything special (load any additional software) for this requirement to be
met?

Thanks in advance for any help......

Tim Smith.
