Communication between on a WAN

[Guest]

so networking outside of a basic home to small office LAN is not my strong point. I am trying to communicated between networks over a basic WAN. I am able to communicate between routers just not between land. Some help on this would be good.

thanks.

I'm lost. You're trying to connect to your business network on your home network?

 

You'll need to create a VPN?

No I stated that I am only familiar with a small LAN environment.

if you look at the attached image it will show you what I think is a basic WAN setup according a video I followed. however I want the three networks to be able to communicate to each other. the Routers can communicate between each other but that's it.

Sorry, I don't know how to do this.

The easiest way would be to get a router between the three routers?

I'm pretty sure you need to setup "static routes" so that each router knows about the network that is connected to each other router, I did do that at uni a while back but I've completely zoned on how to do it as it was a few years back and I haven't done it since then.

For it to work properly each of the routers will need a static IP address from the ISP

I'll download packet tracer and try what I think the general idea is but I can't really promise that I'll figure it out.

ok thanks. at least that gives me a starting point.

Okay so I've uploaded the scenario I made to Puush so you can look through it and hopefully get yours working, t's mostly based on yours with IP addresses etc

So if you look in the router configuration under static you should see what to do but I'll give you as  brief / decent explanation as I can.

In router 1 you'll see that it's been told about the 192.168.2.0 and 192.168.3.0 networks along with their associated subnet mask (255.255.255.0) and what IP address to go through to get to that network
In router 2 you'll see that it's been told about the 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.2.0 networks along with their associated subnet mask (255.255.255.0) and what IP address to go through to get to that network
In router 3 you'll see that it's been told about the 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.3.0 networks along with their associated subnet mask (255.255.255.0) and what IP address to go through to get to that network

Each router needs to have that route that tells it when it gets traffic for a certain network to forward it to a certain IP address, if you only put  a static route on one of the routers it'll send the packets there but the packets know how to get back.

So did you setup maybe NAT? If not then as @Str_Mape suggested you can do static routing, or try RIP. It's pretty awesome. Just set it to V2.

DAM!!! I will have to wait until i get home to try it this afternoon. My works proxy has blocked the site you have uploaded the file to.

I can try put it on mega if mega is unblocked.

Its alright i will just wait till i get home. i am flat out today anyway. Thanks though. i will keep you posted.

You probably dont have routes installed on each router if your LANs cant communicate.

 

You need links with addresses between each router, which I assume you've done. Best that they're in a different subnet to all three LANs.

 

On each router, add static routes to each LAN to each router, or do something like OSPF.

Aswesome after a few minutes of looking at your example you did up i have an idea of how to do it. Much appreciation from the both of you two.
