If you have DHCP configured, then your subnet mask is easily obtainable from
the client PC - you'd have to check the DHCP server (or router) and see what
the subnet mask is set to. Unless you have manually changed the TCP/IP
settings, you're probably setup for DHCP...
If you are still experincing issues - you may want to try un-binding the VPN
(or other) software from the network card. Do this by simply unchecking the
VPN componnet in the Properties of the network card - and then click close.
This way, you don't have to uninstall any software just for testing
purposes. To make things really simple (and eliminate any VPN potential
issues), uncheck everything from the network card except the following three
components: 1) Client for Microsoft networks, 2) File and Priner Sharing and
3) Internet protocol TCPIP. (Actually, you can even uncheck File and
Pritner sharing just to test with.).
Uncheck these components on each PC and see of you can 'ping' across to the
other. Cheers!
