I have 8 computers on a LAN using XP home connecting to SQL EXPRESS 2005 on a machine using XP Pro. The setup has worked for over 5 years. A router plugs into the 24 port Dell switch. The router is to allow internet access.
We need to set up a VPN and installed a new router. Once the router is installed, I cannot connect to the SQL EXPRESS. I can ping the SQL host, but the SQL connection is lost.
Here are some unnusual clues, that may be of no importance.
If the router is not connected to the cable modem, I can connect to SQL. Once the router is connected to the cable modem, the SQL connection is lost.
When the router is first installed, everthing works. I can reach the internet. I can connect with SQL. But after rebooting the computer, I can no longer connect with SQL.
Three routers have caused the same symptom. I am back to using our old router (Web Ramp 700) until a solution is found.
