OK, I've spsent all day playing around and have hit a few problems.

Firstly, when I renamed my SSID the laptop refused to connect to the internet via the wireless card. As soon as I changed it back to the default, it worked.

My biggest headache now is this:
I've set up my main PC to connect to two laptop which are BOTH hardwired to the router (if that's the correct term i.e. NOT wireless). Both the laptops will see each other's files I've designated and the ones on my main PC. However, my main PC will only see one of the laptops! When I try to look at the other one I'm told it cannot find the network, yet both are set up exactly the same. I've been ythrough the proccess three times today and ended up having a row with myself over it

Any ideas?
