What exactly do you mean by ''different locations''. Do you mean different rooms, or different states? If you're in the same building, then the above solutions about building a network is what you should do. If you're talking about different offices, or office and home (which I think you are), then you have different options, largely depending on how much money you want to spend.

Option 1 is to connect them all with high speed internet connections and setup a VPN (virtual private network) between them to connect to a shared ''virtual'' network. A good way to do this for free is Hamachi, or you can have a vpn server and all your locations connect to that server.

Option 2 is to get a T1 or above private line running between all your locations, or from one location to all the other locations. Then, you treat this like a normal network connection, and just connect them up. This is a more expensive option, and is largely dependent on the distance between the locations.

Option 3 is to get ''dark fiber'', which is essentially an unused fiber optic line, that runs between all your locations. This is the most expensive option, and isn't available in all areas.
