Hi SD - thanx for that.
I've swapped their roles now so that the laptop became the host and nothing improved. Then I read yr post and tried the different pings. As the host the lappy pings all ok BUT the PC fails on the last 2.
Where now?
Furthermore - The PC keeps creating a network adaptor and a bridge for some reason. I keep uninstalling them.
Both occasionally give me the warning "workgroup is not accessible you might not have permissions etc" when I try to "view workgroup computers".
Could this Spooler subsystem application error I keep getting on the PC be the cause of this and if so how do I work around that one?
Jeez - how fed up am I now.....??? Been sat at this Bstard now for two whole nights!
