Hi Folks
I am trying to link two sites using Nanobridges. My ultimate goal is to have access to the office servers from home. The reverse would also be nice.

I am battling to get the routing to work. The two NB see each other. I can also access both NB from a PC on either network. I can't seem to see PCs on the other networks though.

Here is what I have at the moment.

ADSL Router 1<-> Office <-> NB1/AP ----2 Km----- NB2/Station <-> Home <-> ADSL Router2
10.0.0.2 10.0.x.x 10.0.0.3/10.10.10.1 <-> <-> 10.10.10.2/192.168.1.2 192.168.1.x 192.168.1.1

Routes on NB1

Destination Gateway Netmask Interface
192.168.1.0 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.0 WLAN
10.10.10.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 WLAN
10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 LAN
0.0.0.0 10.0.0.2 0.0.0.0 LAN

Routes on NB2

Destination Gateway Netmask Interface
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 LAN
10.10.10.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 WLAN
10.0.0.0 10.10.10.1 255.255.0.0 WLAN
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 LAN


I have also added static routes on each on the ADSL routers
ADSL Router1 192.168.1.0/24 GW 10.0.0.3
ADSL Router2 10.0.0.0/16 GW 192.168.1.2

Any advice would be appreciated.
 
Usually the best solution I find is to enable remote desktop on the office server, and set up a virtual machine to RDP into. That way it can be accessed anywhere, and it contains its own ftp system.
 
I haven't been able to spot anything wrong with those routing tables. It might be helpful to see the output of a traceroute from an office PC to the home ADSL router, and from a home PC to the office ADSL router, though.
 
Ya agreed the routing seems to be fine here.
Could you also include traceroutes to the routers and bridges from both networks.
