I decided to run the Network Wizard on both PCs and low and behold I have
connected again!!
I can transfer data between the two and can print from both.
My AVG update started automatically which showed the Desktop was
communicating with the Internet through the Laptop
My only problem now is when I open Internet Explorer it will not communicate
with the Internet which it did previously.
The strange thing is it did so with the AVG. update!
The other problem I cannot use Outlook Express which I could not before. I
have deleted any reference to a logon service and filled in the LAN
settings.
I'm not sure if my settings are right. I have www.freeserve.net Port 8080.
as a proxy server
Can you help with this problem now?
Regards
Blair
