Proficy cannot go online with CPE305

Let me make sure I understand what you're working with. You have a PC (192.168.0.???), a PLC (192.168.0.100) and an HMI (192.168.0.101).

They are all connected through a switch???

The PC at 192.168.0.??? can download a program to the HMI at 192.168.0.101
The PC at 192.168.0.??? can not establish a connection with the PLC at 192.168.0.100, nor can it ping IP address 192.168.0.100.

Can the HMI at 192.168.0.101 communicate with the PLC at 192.168.0.100???

That is the way I see it too.
I would agree with Steve's post # 7 to try a command line "arp -d" and reset the table.

Except I have never heard of "Set Temporary IP Address" causing the need for this?

Alright fellas, this has been an interesting day and a bit of a learning experience. Though the actual solution is not quite clear to me, everything is now working as it should.

I enlisted the help of one of our network admins to run a series of system updates that I had neglected. He also changed the setting on my Windows 7 Virtual desktop's Network Adapter to allow it to share the hosts IP address (also Windows 7 pro).

It looks like it was a PC issue all along.

Thanks again for the continuous support!
