Okay, you guys are asking good questions, and I don't really have the answer to all of them (not as much of a techie person), but I'll do the best I can...
I have all of my equipment, including router, cable modem, etc., on power strips with surge protectors... is it still possible for the electricity to get to it?
The VPN is a software thing on my end. I connect to whatever is up at the main office (a VPN box?) that way. I only use the Macs for work (the PC is my bf's), and they both have the software on them. Does that answer that? =)
I don't know what a DMZ is, so I can't answer that at all... =\
After switching, things are still working, and the PC is able to connect... I'm a little hesitant to switch things back... I'm of the mentality that if it isn't broke, don't fix it... but if it will help you guys understand what's happening, and can explain it to me, I'll give it a shot... =)
