dns 192 168 001 254
select ok
it should work

no done that no joy just a thought but where it says unidentified network no network access in the bottom right hand corner of my pc there is a picture of a bench (seat) which i think means i am on a public network??? could this be causing the problem

Just kicked other half off of our wired PC so I can look at it from there so I know what I am telling you one way or the other,
Go to Control Panel/Network and Sharing ..... yet again it should show you a diagram on the second line there should be something like Network and underneath Public Network in blue click that then select home network and we should be in business.
Trying to diagnose with a bad memory is not my forte The park bench jogged my memory a bit

Yes , If you have only one Windows 7 PC in the house then you don't need to set up a homegroup , and can share printers if you wish i.e. with sons lappy if you wish , also public documents.

Well at least it's no longer a modem.

Did you say in your original post that this has originally worked on the desktop PC under Win 7? If so has anything changed since? Antivirus/firewall software etc.
