We have two offices 100metres away from each other
 
OFFICEA1  has 30 computers connected to it which is the SBS box 192.168.0.10
which is connected to basic Router 192.168.0.1
 
OFFICEB1 has 15 computers connected to Windows 2003 server 192.168.1.10
 
I have bought two Access Points D link 2100 which i have put on WDS mode...
 
how do i get them to see each other.... as OFFICEB1 needs email, files and sharepoint from the SBS server...
 
i have tried putting a static ip on the routers.... but then dhcp goes over to the other Office and stuff things up?

i havent used WDS - read/heard about it.

My understanding is that it allows you to use two access points in one network?

in which case you dont need two subnets, you need one.

Switch off the dhcp in office b - and let them pick up IP's from office a.

You might need to statically assign the IP of the access point in office b - and reserve that in dhcp in officea.

but in theorey that should do it.

im not sure WDS is the correct solution then.

If each site has its own internet connection, why not use a site to site vpn between the two routers?

Hi Steven,
 
I also don't quite understand what you are trying to do with WDS here, but if that remote server is an additional DC, have you looked at the articles in the Branch offices section yet?
