Hi John,
Another vote on the cable! I'll really have to replace the one and see what happens. Don't think that "seeing" the PC clears the cable as culprit, I take it?
The hub is another interesting idea which I shall keep in mind.
Cheers and thanks,
Jim N

>I would also recommend you go into control panel, networking and remove all protocols but TCP-IP. Start your first machine at 10.0.0.1 and increment the last octet on subsequent machines. This is a non routable ip address and should work well on your local site. The other protocols are not necessary and only tend to slow your communications.
