Are you maintaining an IP address after you disconnect from your company VPN? Next time you release the VPN connection, open a command prompt on your computer and run the command ipconfig and see you if your network interface still has a valid IP address on your LAN.

I failed to fully explained myself. This only happens when I switch back to my personal computer. So I disconnect the vpn and unhook my work laptop and setup personal pc. Then at that point I no longer can obtain an IP address and have to reboot the router.
Is it anything similar to what is discussed in this thread?
Lost Internet connection when I VPN in to work?

If you give your home machine a new Static IP Address rather than having one obtained automatically does that pacify the Router?
