Firstly i have no dsl but i connect through 56k
connection on GJPARKER. I have got printing to work on
the LAPTOP, from GJPARKER. i am not at home at the moment
but i will do ipconfig and post it next time. I am using
a third party freeware lan chat program to talk between
the PC's thats the only thing that works on (ANDREW).

The router has a built in firewall but the laptop and
GJPARKER can see the files on each other and even ANDREW.
Apart from that i have disabled xp firewall and have no
3rd party firewall. Thanks for your help.
