Druchii / opelfruitcase

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!

-------------------------------------------------------------
@echo off
echo Resetting the laptop's network connection, please wait...
net stop workstation
net start workstation
echo The Network connection has been reset.
pause
-------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks again for your excellent help.
