    Hi there.

    update: Since resolving the problem, the network has been temperamental.... It seems my laptop only lets me access the PC on the network when it feels like! lol I don't know why, but sometimes it works other times it see's the PC but won't allow me access. I'm thinking this could be a hardware problem??

    After several attempts I'm still struggling to get the printer to work. I have the printer connected wirelessly AND wired to the PC, so it's as if I have 2 printers (incase I have any WiFi problems) but no printer is showing up on the Network. I've done all the usual set up printer processes on the laptop but now I'm completely stuck! Can you help?

    This might sound like a daft question... but do I need to install drivers for the printer on the laptop as well as the PC?

    I'd lean towards avg internet security still being the issue. Disable it for a while (a day or so) and see how your network behaves while it is disabled.
