My guess is the phone line. I used to have two machines sitting side by side. Each could talk to any computer in the world (as many as I tried) as long as they were more than a mile from my house. They couldn't talk to each other nor could anyone in the neighborhood talk to either of them. The phone company came out 3 times over the years to fix the problem with no results. Finally one of the two phone lines quit entirely and, when they came out to fix it, they had to run a new line. After that the 1 mile limit no longer applied. Why one line killed both of the lines I don't know. Why they couldn't find it I don't know. All I know is it was the phone company that had the problem.
