Connecting to company VPN and accessing SMB

Any help would be awesome!

I am trying to access my company server from home.  i can connect to the company VPN no problems on WiFi, but when i go to connect to the SMB server, it just times out and nothing happens.  i am using a BlueCurve moden.  when i connect my computer via ethernet, there is no problem and i can access my company server.  Shaw cannot assist as they say as long as the internet is working on WiFi, thats all they are worried about.  I do not understand why i can access my company server on a wired connection, but not on a wifi. 

If anyone has any tips, or ideas, please let me know!  thank you in advance!

Yes, there are limits to the training provided by Shaw to its employees.

Are the "properties" identical for both network adapters? Is the WiFi adapter enabled for SMB ?

Can your employer's I.T. Department provide any support to you?

If you take your device to your employer's location, and the employer has a corporate WiFi network, can you use SMB after connecting?
