Joining two networks

[Jamauk]

I'm looking to join networks with a relative who lives a few houses away; previously I've used Hamachi to join networks however I'm now looking for a faster solution without the download constraints of their ISP (Sky 2GB cap!).

I've bridged their router (DG834GT) to my access point (WG602v2). However the problem is with the routing side of things as we still want to use our own internet connections.

Equipment my side:

Netgear WG602v2
Linksys WRT54GL (running Tomato)
Linksys BEFSR41 (not currently in use)
Netgear RP614 (not currently in use)

Equipment their side:

Netgear DG834GT

How can I set this up to work?

Thanks for the replies. I haven't actually tried adjusting any of the settings yet, other than bridging the networks - although there should already be two different subnets (here it's 192.168.1.xxx the other network should be 192.168.2.xxx)

Turning off DHCP isnt really an option here due to the number of computers connected to my router.

How should I setup static routing as it's not something I've ever attempted:

Thanks FoxEye, thats exactly how I would like it.

I wont get to have a look at it for a couple of days now, but 'in theory' it should be just re-connect the bridge (disconnected due to the routing problems) and change the router settings.

Thanks once again, I'll keep this thread updated with any success/problems I encounter!

Just a quick update,

Yesterday I managed to get the bridge setup as planned and I decided it would be easier to use static IP's at the other house as there is only 3 devices there (Laptop, Wii & BluRay player). I also decided I would use my WRT54GL (tomato) for Wi-fi and use the two WG602's for the bridge with one at each location.

I can now report that it was a complete success and now using Synctoy, my auntie and uncle now have their files backed up to my WHS on a daily basis.

Thanks for all your help & Merry Christmas.
