I have an office spilt on two sites (two different portacabins.)
I have hard wired the network from the sever in the main cabin to 3 laptops and 2 HP printers in the other office connected by another router which is connected to the main server.
i.e server - router ----------- router ---- PC and printers.
Now the printers work fine on the pcs connected to the same router but i can not connect to the router in that office from the server or the printers though the pcs in that office connect to the sever/network.
Any ideas.

though the severs ip address and gateway start with 192.168.16....
and the router in the other office is 192.168.2.... could this be the problem.

hmm.. why are you using two routers? are we talking DSL/modem/routers?
IF it was me, i would get a cheap 6 port switch (i presume this is temporary?), replace the second router and assign the same IPs as the server (technically should all be the same as the router).. so:
192.168.2.*
your server should then be 192.168.2.* and so should every other piece of equipment.
I cant say ive ever connected two routers to a network.

should all be on the same subnet and preferable same subclass (that right) with the ip address - like bart said.
if you only wanted to run 1 network cable i would have gone:
server - router - hub(office2) - lappys/printers and switch on DHCP on the router
or
server (with DHCP) - hub(office1) - hub (office2) - lappys/printers
