As noted in the other thread, it isn't a router issue (I hope). This seems
to be entirely a hose job on the configuration. I will look for a rollback
but as I recall from previous situations, there isn't an answer waiting
there.

The VPN has been removed. What I don't understand is where the Workstation
Service went.
