Simon Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 It sounds as if you have more than one device with the same name on your wifi network. Is every piece of equipment you have called something unique, if not a bit of renaming (in Windows XP system properties - windows key & pause/break) should sort you out?RegardsSimon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
