Dave - I think you are still a bit confused about networking :-) 1). Your Vaio may well be connected to the INTERNET(which is nothing to do with your NETWORK) but it does not have a correct IP address - it is not on the same subnet as your other machines. It needs to have an IP address of 192.168.0.xxx, the same as your XP PC's. This is vital. 2) If you have parallel connections between a PC (the laptop in this case) and the router, one wi-fi and another ethernet, the PC does not have a unique identity on your network. This CAN create all manner of confusion down the line. Normally you would connect a laptop via wi-fi. If you plug in an ethernet cable, you should disconnect the wi-fi connection. Anyway, the first thing is to get your vaio configured properly. Since it is connected via ethernet to your router, this should be easy. The 169 address occurs because DHCP (on the router) has failed to give out a valid 192 address for this machine or MORE LIKELY the Vaio has failed to collect the 192 address from the router for some reason. You need to tell the Vaio to get its IP address and other settings from the Router.
