Hello Dane If your system is set to Public Network, sharing is automatically disabled. So yes; I can understand that. Ours is actually set to "Work Network" and it's complaining bitterly if I try to apply a static IP. I'll try changing it to Home network, but I'm puzzled as to why Windows is whining about 2 different networks. Yes, it is true that our wireless adapter is connected to a different network. But that always worked in the past so I can't see why not now. However, I'm no expert; and if you know different feel free to correct me.

I've now been able to apply a static IP address so what was wrong? My Network from the new desktop machine was in "Public Network" mode so I changed this to "Home Network" mode and its made all the difference. The "Change Adapter Settings" in the Sharing centre are now visible as they are on all my other Windows machines. Just goes to show what you can do after a long sleep and then returning to the project afresh <smile>. ======================================= The Techno-Chat E-Mail forum is guaranteed malware, spyware, Trojan, virus and worm-free To modify your subscription options, please visit for forum's dedicated web pages located at http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/techno-chat You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Techno-Chat group at either of the following websites: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/techno-chat/index.html Or: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]> you may also subscribe to this list via RSS.
