    Is this enough to go on? there was the same info for Wireless Network except the end of the IP address had 1 instead of 2.

    Just Googled and the default IP of the new Virgin Superhub is 192.168.0.1 so if your PC's wireless adapter is also set to 192.168.0.1 it will conflict.

    It's not clear from your description above whether this is actually the case. Please post the whole of your IPConfig.

    That looks OK. What's the IP address of your new Virgin hub? 192.168.0.1 is a common router IP so it may be conflicting.

    IPv4 address: 192.168.03

    Default gateway : 192.168.01

    Actually that might not be what you want? I took this off the new PC doing the cmd and ipconfig - where would the hub IP be located if this is incorrect?

    That doesn't make sense. Please post the whole of your IPConfig.

    I'll hv to get back later on it as I can't copy and paste it and there's lots of stuff to retype. I've got to rush out now unfortunately.
    In the meantime thanks for your continued help and patience.

    It sounds like your router/gateway/hub (Virgin) is 192.168.0.1. The new PC is 192.168.0.3. The ethernet on the old PC is 192.168.0.2. There's also an ASUS wireless card running on the old PC that is also 192.168.0.1 which is causing an IP address conflict with the hub. However without seeing the whole of the old PC's IPConfig I can't be sure.

    Fair one. :o

    Although to be pedantic he may still be able to copy/paste over the LAN or transfer via USB etc. He somehow managed to post a HJT log here. ;)
