Welcome to the list, John!
This one is a little hard to call. I am guessing you might even have an issue
with MTU size that erratically appears; since S2 is coming through another path
this would explain why it can connect and you can't, and also explain the
frenetic network activity.
If you have alternate access such as another ISP or a direct dialin to your work
network that you can use at least once or twice, you can try connecting over
that. The reason for this test is to see whether there is a path-based
problem.
