Is there a chance this could be an ie7 (hijack?) or XP problem?
In any event would like to know how to clean uninstall network adapters as a first step please.

Please to say have resolved. Completely uninstalling/reinstalling all firewall/anti-virus software etc did the trick. Possibly something to do with how Zonealarm was/was not identifying new network - though that is just a (wild) guess! Main thing - it now works!!
