I have an office here in CA that holds all teh servers. Mail server, SQL
server, etc...
I have an office in VA. The offie here and the office there both have T-1
to teh Interent.
I am goign to be seting up a new server in teh VA office.
How can I get teh new server to connect to the servers here and be apart of
the network here iin VA?

You need to set up a VPN (Virtual Private Network).
 
is that all?
We use sonicwall as out firewall, so they us their own VPN stuff.
I know it works well with regular computers logging in remotly.

As long as the VPN link is up, it's like a big long Ethernet cable.
That said, if you've got AD, make sure your DNS config is right - if you
don't have a DC/DNS server in the remote location, make sure your clients
are pointing at the DNS server in the main office.
