Thanks for the replys chaps & sorry for mega late reply myself.

Basically i chucked the toys out of the pram on the night because i've got the crossover and have used it before, but i just could not get it working and vista would only harp on about wireless networking.

I'm going to get a wireless router (against my religion lol) but i'll be wired whilst everyone else is wireless so hopefully it won't be so bad, all i wanted to do was pass some files accross.

All that been said i have to say vista is a strange beast i like alot of the features and so i'm kinda like "oh this is brilliant" and then the next i want to install something or other and well the i'm like "this is total ****" lol

Hope sp1 makes some much needed improvements and i hope some software companies release some patches because if those things happen i'll buy vista (came pre-installed)

reps to all those that took the time to reply
