I am online from the office. Strangely, wireless doesn't want to work, but Ethernet does. That's good enough for the moment, and wireless will be figured out later. Anyone know why this may be?
I'm afraid you lost me at VPN Software, I have nothing which claims it is. The architecture at the moment is (or will be, hopefully): a BT hub connecting via USB to the server running Windows Small Business Server, which connects to a switch via Ethernet and all other computers get plugged into the switch too, can see the internet and the server. I am guessing at the moment that it's a question of allocating different IPs, since they are at the moment the ones the serviced office gave us, and they won't work any more. At the moment, I don't know if the BT HUb acts as a gateway or if the server does, or maybe at the moment both are and we are getting a conflict... I am the one-eyed woman in the kingdom of the blind in our office, but my halfwitted, seat-of-my-pants geek skills aren't enough to make sense of this yet.
Girl Genius ftw. Needs more Othar though (hence my love for the current storyline)!
As for your issue -- do an ipconfig /all in your PC's command prompt in both cases. I guess for the hub the SBS will be the gateway, and for the switch it is your router or modem. In this case, either set the gateway for your PC(s) behind the hub to the gateway of the devices on the switch, or check the SBS configuration if internet sharing is setup correctly.
The SBS will need to do the routing between the hub and the switch.
