Of course they are both Windows machines. I wonder if using something like a gateway box between the hub and the modem would help. This just made me wonder too, one of the people I work with just changed with Qwest to MSN and now her VPN to the office does not work. Qwest says it is something to do with NAT and MSN. Since they would like to have two PC's on line at once I bet the same gateway thing might help them too. Something like the e-smith gateway server like I am using now and can VPN to the office with no problem. Any one else have any thoughts in this area? Stan I know you're lurking out there what do you think?
