Wan/lan

In our office one user connects to another office via a WAN connection(he changes IP address), is there any way he can print to a printer that is on our LAN which he connects to when IP address is set to obtain automatically!

Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved,

thanks in advance

If you can give the printer a static (non changing) ip, he can add the printer by the ip address. Is the printer hooked up through another machine, or is it on a print server?

Partial solution

Somehow after purchasing a new printer he can now print when connected to the WAN, still no internet/e-mail.

Note we also have a Cisco 801 ISDN router. This is where the line for the WAN comes in.

Any ideas how i can link the PC to this? It currently connects to a hub which is connected to our server
