Message: [QUOTE="CR_Dave, post: 620987, member: 17533"] Your router should be serving out an IP address that will be common except for the last segment on IP address. I don't know networking that well, but at minimum, I setup the same WORKGROUP names on all the local machines, then let the router serve out IP addresses through DHCP. Not sure of you operating system, but you should see this if you go into the TCP/IP properties. try this to see if things look the same (on win2000 and XP). START - then RUN - then type CMD or COMMAND and press enter once the old ms-dos command window opens, type ipconfig /all a quick report will come up. do this on all machines and check for differences in the network setups. PS - sometimes VPN can be a pain and may not work with all routers. Any network gurus out there -- don't beat me up if I am way off on this, but it generally works for me and dial-out with VPN at times. [/QUOTE]
