Thanks guys, now the problems really start

I switched on this morning to find I had picked up a network worm from somewhere. Having always been careful with mail and running NAV in the background, it starts me wondering about the advantages of a home network. I've run the Symantec fix, so hopefully I am back in business, but it does make me wonder about giving full access across all computers.

The printer part of my original question seemed to sort itself out when I connected the notebook to the network. Thanks for the shared files info: I had gone ahead and changed the permissions on my main PC, but I may have to think that one through a bit more.

Thanks again,
Chris
