[Don Greb]

Thank you for the quick reply Kevin. We just need one PC at location B to
access one device in location A. Do you know what the firewall rule would
be?

If you want to be able to connect from many devices at one location to a
single device at the other location, you can do that with a firewall rule,
assuming it is using a single port or range of ports that you can open.  But
if you want to be able to connect from many devices at one location to many
devices at the other, you will need to set up a VPN between your 2
firewalls.  That will allow you to route between the two networks as if you
had a dedicated link between them.  I don’t know anything about those
devices, though, so I don’t know for sure that they support VPN tunnels.

I have a lan in location A with a Netgear FVS318 router/firewall, and a lan
at location B with a Netgear WGT624 wireless router/firewall at the second
site.

I can manage the routers from either site without a problem. I want to be
able to access a device in location A from the lan at location B. Both sites
have dedicated IP addresses. I don’t know if I need a VPN or just to open
something on the firewall. I have done as much research as I can but I can’t
seem to figure out how to make this happen. Is there someone out there that
could tell me what the magic formula is?
