Last week, I was asked by a friend to set up a wireless home network for her. She has a newish Windows XP Pro desktop computer that she exclusively used, plus 2 older, unused desktop computers with XP Home that were well out-of-date and also had a variety of malware on both of them.

I've downloaded a small program that will tell me the IP address (IP2.exe) on any occasion I need to connect.

Following an internet fault, I kept swapping out routers/cables etc. to prove the fault out to line, and since then I have been unable to get the print server to network.
