---Situation:

* Main building with 250 computers divided in rooms
* Second building 800 meters away from the main building with 60 computers

---What needs to be done:

* All computers need access to the internet
* The two buildings must communicate with each other
* Network based on TCP/IP
* In each room, must be a printserver
* Each building different subnet

---Solution (?):

First of all, IP-ranges

Main building Site A: 192.168.1.x ; 255.255.255.0
Second building Site B: 192.168.2.x ; 255.255.255.0

Between the two buildings I wanted to use a fiber connection

So,

SiteA(192.168.1.x)<--CiscoRouter<--FiberDriver----FiberLine----Fiber Driver-->CiscoRouter-->SiteB(192.168.2.x)

Which CiscoRouter should I use for the connection between the Sites?

I need access to the internet, how/which Cisco device..?

And last thing: Site A: 8rooms, 25computers/room -- Site B: 5rooms, 8 computers/room. How should I do this? Each room needs to have a printer via printserver.

Thanks in advance!
 
cisco 1700's for the router's with fibre cards, cisco switches 2900's, you run VLANS, pretty straight forward setup, really depends on your budget as to what switches you can buy.
 
budget really doesn't matter..
