One superhub specific thing I can think of is that the desktop is trying to use an ip address in the 192.168.1.x range, but the superhub uses the 192.168.0.x range.

If you open the network adapter properties: If you have Vista/7 search on the start menu for network, open the network and sharing centre, click change adapter settings, double click the network adapter, click properties. Then double click the IP4 or TCP/IPv4 line and click the obtain an IP address automatically.

I actually love you, whether you are a man or a woman!

Followed the instructions about the ip address and now I am connected (my wife will think I am a computer wizard, but we both know the truth!) Shame that the tech department that I was on the 'phone / holding for over half and hour last night, couldn't help me!

Thanks a million my friend.
