G`Dave sounds to me like they are on a different subnet..... in network connection --> properties of the LAN connection --> properties of the TCP/IP protocal: has it been set to 'automatically obtain ip addresss' ? if it is and its still not working then I would suggest setting a maual IP. so make the IP of one computer 192.168.0.1 subnet 255.255.255.0 and the IP of the other computer 192.168.0.2 and subnet 255.255.255.0 This should work You can test if it has by 'pinging' the other computer by going... start --> run --> cmd: then type 'ping You can test to see what your IP adress is by typing 'ipconfig' This will also tell you what subnet you are on. Hope some of that helps. OLi_A thanks for that mate seems to have done the trick CLICK TO RETURN TO TOP OF PAGE
