Hi George.
My Router is a Belkin. If you need the model type I can get this.
Unfortunately George, at the moment, I have separated both computers. I
have one in the lounge as I have been asked to record the Ad from The Royal
this evening at 8.30, for another list member. However, tomorrow, I'll
bring both computers back together again in the same room and connect both
to the Router.
In the meantime, I'll listen again to Rick's tutorial in setting up a
Network between both computers, so when you get back to me I will have a
better idea what you are talking about.
So I'll drop you a wee line tomorrow evening sometime telling you that both
computers are together and on line and if you can then talk me though it,
then that would be grand.
Best wishes.
Andy
