map printer over router to router VPN ?

[scott]

Hi,

I have the following setup and i would like to redirect a printer in the
session to a remote share:

-----------------------------------------
shared printer
|
XP Client
192.168.6.13
|
192.168.6.1
router
|
|
net
|
|
router
192.168.5.1
|
192.168.5.5
Terminal server
-----------------------------------------

From the server I need to run the following in a command prompt

net use LPT1: \\192.168.6.13\printer

How can i allow my routers to find the IP and Printer share ?

I assume i should be able to NAT forward ports/protocol from ROUTER to
ROUTER to XP Client but which ones ? (also does this not mean i can only map
one printer ?)

If a session on the terminal server (192.168.5.5) could ping 192.168.6.13
then i would be almost there. Is this even possible ?

Thanks for any information
Scott

Yes, if you have VPN, you should be able to do so. quoted from
http://www.howtonetworking.com/vpnsetup.htm.
Which ports need to be opened for running VPN

A: PPTP VPN uses TCP Port 1723, IP Protocol 47 (GRE); L2TP: UDP Port 1701;
IPSec: UDP Port 500, Pass IP protocol 50 and 51. Note: 47 is a protocol
number and not TCP port. The protocol name is GRE. It'll make a big
difference when configuring your firewall or router.
