wide area network question?
hello, i have the task of connecting 4 branches of a company together using a network. The company has 12 staff in each branch each with their own computers. im wondering if this would require a wide area network or just 4 local area networks as the branches are all in the same country.
i was also wondering what utilities i might need to set up a wide area network like this as i have only had real experience in local area networks using ethernet cables to connect the pc's etc.
thanks a lot

You would need 4 separate LAN's per location.
WAN is considered when you jump from one lan to another when not in the same building or local area.
Most people use the internet and make a tunnel to each location. Secured tunnel that runs along the internet.
That is the easiest since all the cables are in placed.

All four offices can communicate over internet.
You can either create a FRAME RELAY connection, or VPN.
VPN is the best option. Its secure and ease.
Just google each, for the setup details.
