Steve/Chuck
Thanks, I tried Steve's suggestion and it is all working now. I am typing
from PC2.
The only problem I now have is, I have Norton Internet Security 2005 and
when the security is active I can surf the web on PC2 but I lose my network
connect on the drives of PC1. As soon as I disable NIS then the network
works again. Is this because I need to unblock a port. If so how do I find
out which port to unblock. Will that then let me activate NIS on both
machines?
I do have ADSL but it is on a dial up connection not an always on, on an
Intel usb modem
Thanks for your help again.

You're welcome, Simon.
To allow PC2 to the drives of PC1, configure Norton Internet Security
2005 to allow access on the local area network.
