Many thanks for your help on this. I decided to try the net stop workstation option as I thought doing it on the wireless laptop where I was printing away from the main PC would be easier than resetting the connection on the "server".
Anyway, it worked a treat and I have now written a little batch file as below which I have saved in the All Users section of the Start Menu to run if this crops up.
Thanks goodness for command lines!

net start workstation
echo The Network connection has been reset.
pause

Thanks again for your excellent help.
