Q2:Customer uses a VPN to access work. VPN tunneling software installed on work provided laptop. No other Windows functions or software utilized including Internet. External USB Wireless NIC installed. Had been working for months, suddenly it no longer works. Router and wired LAN computer test good, Internet access possible. Work laptop can’t check Internet without disrupting complex settings for in-office use. You verify that the DHCP assigned IP address is 169.125.33.38. Why won’t the VPN software logon?

That DHCP assigned IP looks like the "Autoconfigured" IP which is assigned when a windows DHCP client cannot contact a DHCP server to get an IP address from.
Everything worked for months while the DHCP lease was active, but when it expired and tried to contact a DHCP server to get a new IP, it couldn't find any, so Windows assigned that class B IP.

Re:Questions and Answers
VNC would be virtual network computing..... allows a person at a remote computer to assume control of another computer across a network..... eg// realvnc and pcanywhere
then again i could be wrong

Re:Questions and Answers
cant it also log into a main network, where the user logs in with his usual login and loads his roaming profile to the machine they are logging in with? this does not necc takes over any particular server but rather gets access to things like their mail account etc. as if to say they were at work but without taking over a machine as they are already on one.
