Helloha, thanks for the replys.
I cannot use the work computer as the main computer as I cannot add another ethernet port to it.
Another thing is that on the private side of the work computer it will not connect to the internet iether. So I suppose if it is not connecting to the net the actual network is not ......um....working on that side.
I have no idea how to set up a VPN on my main computer as everything was already set up on the work one.......A little dialer type box comes up and it asks for a username and pass......it then says authenticating user and then does nowt.
The more I think about it, it is strange how the work side cannot connect to the net at all.
If she had got a laptop we could have had a cool wifi network but she got this heap o junk!!
