However, they aren't seeing each other- I think it's down to Zone Alarm, as it blocked an incoming connection from the PC upstairs whilst i was on the laptop. Does anyone know a way round this? Or if I've made an error in setting it up this way! Do I have to install printer drivers on the laptop as well as up here?
Ta.
IIRC you need to ad the network address of the other machine to the 'trusted zone' in zonealarm.
