Thanks very much Saab but neither of these are the guilty party.
Both computers are listed in the DHCP client list with different IP addresses.
If I power up the laptop and then the wireless PC, I can get both operating together. If however I have the PC up and running first, I can't then get the laptop to connect. It shows a good signal strength and recognises the network but cannot aquire an IP address.
The router is set to automatically assign a wireless channel. I assume routers are designed to cope with more than one wireless device at once. Can anyone advise if otherwise??

PS. Why do you spell your first name with two a's. I would have thought it would only have one !
