Hi, Thanks for the reply I seem to be at a standstill I will explain how things are up to date.
I put the ethnet cable directly into the laptop it says I am connected but when I go onto internet explore I cannot connect. The connection for wireless says I am connected also. I feel as if there is some detail I am overlooking.
I also took Norton off the host pc, same results so put it back on.The strange thing is in my home network I have the host pc,(this one with no connection probs) the laptop and another pc I am getting the same error with the other pc. I was thinking of deleting the home network and starting from scratch.
Any thoughts would be helpful.
