Establish WAN connection with routers, need help, pleazze?!

[dejanc]

Hello all,

I need help about building WAN connection between me and my parents, which are not young anymorie and flexible. And we are not leaving anymore together. So I would like to connect my PC with them, over WAN connection with CISCO routers. I have a lot experience with LAN connection, but WAN is something different, and more difficult.

- So, I have two CISCO routes 800 series.
- we have all internet connection, and internet provider modems.

I will describe how I know in theoreticaly how to do it, and if it is wrong, please somone to correct my steps.

1. I have open www.showmyip.com to find IP address of modem. In my case modem has IP 89.212.243.10
2. connect routers to pc, connect over HyperTerminal, and define STATIC IPs (89.212.243.100 and 89.212.243.1019, subnet 255.255.255.0 on both routers), Port, Firewall.
Question: How to add port, and which one? How to set firewall on routers? Do I have to set also gtw? In my case, do I need gtw, and if what should it be gtw?
3.Connect routers on each modem (my and my parents modem). PING them if they see each other. (PING 89.212.243.100, or 89.212.243.1019)
4. Create VPN. I know how to do it as LAN, but on router NOT!!??

Thank in advance for help to anyone!!!!

First, why do you want to use your Cisco equipment to simply connect to your parents home network? Chances are you both have dynamic IP's from your ISP, so setting static IP's in the router will only last so long, I would recommend going with dyndns.org, which would take care of the dynamic IP, you just need to install software on one computer at each location.

What is the goal you are trying to accomplish? Do you want to share files? Connect remotely?

Basicly to create WAN connection, and with some security setups. By education I`m an IT administrator. But, I don not have experience with WAN connection, with LAN yes, but there are differences between those connections. And, in this case, I can experience with config., and learn at the same time.
