Simple, you can bridge the network. It's in win xp. But if you want it just pure and straight get a router and a hub/switch.

there are some ways to that:
1. You can connect the two networks into a router
2. You can do it also in a switch but you have to make sure that the IP addresses of the two network must be in the same class and network. If one of the network is in class C, the other one must be in Class C also. Example, If the first three octets of the IP addresses of the host in one network starts with 192.168.1, the other network must be in 192.168.1 also inorder for them to be considered as one network
* Configurations are very important. since the two office is in different locations, you have also to consider the distance and the materials you are going to use because it could affect the transmission.
* The best way is to ask appropriate persons that has full knowledge in networking to do the job.
