By the way, I forgot to mention, if you only have very limited
resources that you want to share (for example you only want the
file server shared) then you might want to look at an even
simpler solution: ssh tunnels. It will provide remote access
which is secure and very easy to set up, and you could set it up
on the internal server

Thanks Anders,

As I thought, routers would be the easiest and most transparent
solution.

Yes, there is very limited traffic between the two networks, mainly
printers and files; so ssh tunneling would be a possibility.

There are however still a couple of Win98 and WinXP machines around
which need access through the tunnel too; would an ssh tunnel work
for these? And what software would I need for the windows machines?
Will putty do?
