I don't think you will find things that difficult.

Do you know what addressing scheme each site uses?
ie subnets and netmasks?


also, here's time for the Devils Advocate -
if you have a 100Mbs ethernet link between sites, why bother routing at
all?
Make a flat network (I hear gasps of indrawn breath from the choir).
But its not that big a heresy.

If you need to segment the network into different parts then use VLANs.
Heresy over.


If you have the time, K-Net also offer training courses - sorry everyone
now thinks I have shares in them.
