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=20
have one in the lounge as I have been asked to record the Ad
from The Royal=20
this evening at 8.30, for another list member. However,
tomorrow, I'll=20
bring both computers back together again in the same room
and connect both=20
to the Router.
In the meantime, I'll listen again to Rick's tutorial in
setting up a=20
Network between both computers, so when you get back to me I
will have a=20
better idea what you are talking about.
So I'll drop you a wee line tomorrow evening sometime
telling you that both=20
computers are together and on line and if you can then talk
me though it,=20
then that would be grand.
Best wishes.
Andy
