Ok a quick update. I only managed to get the laptop booted up and onto the network page before I was rudely interrupted by number 1 son telling me he needed his PC (the desktop) so I didn't get the chance to have a look at any settings on the desktop. One major difference on the laptop was the appearance of 2 new icons on the networking page. I now have the lappy, a PC entitled number1son, another PC entitled familynamenumber1son and the netgear router. During initial set up I could only see the PC entitled familynamenumber1son and the router. Something has changed without me changing it. I will have to do some more work tonight and report back with findings tomorrow. I'm thinking I'll do some more reading and try setting up a brand new network and see where that takes me .... thoughts?
I still have the blasted document allegedly deleting in the printer queue, any ideas how I can get rid of that? I have tried ctrl alt delete but its not showing in the task manager
