Re: Strange network problem

Everything works correctly if you are connecting from your VPN
straight to the PC, correct? Have you tried physically being in your
office and communicating between the two workstations? Same result?

If so, you should/could try to connect a HUB between the two PC's and
then connect the hub to the switch. This would connect the two PC's
directly and would eliminate any problems that a switch would cause.
Hubs are cheap or you may have one laying around somewhere.
Or, if you did not need access to your network you could link the two
PC's together with the hub. That would be best.

This would at least rule out some things.
