Hi Samantha,

If the 2 LANS can access the Internet, you are in great shape and don't have to buy anything
else. You can create a VPN tunnel between the two LANS and share resources.

If the 2 LANS do not presently have Internet connectivity, then you will need to obtain whatever
hardware it will take to make those connections to the Internet first before creating the VPN
tunnel.

Hope this helps,
Gary
