Hi Andy, 

Thanks for the response. I'm not sure how much information I can give. I
am quite new to Linux. I've been using for a couple of versions now, and
have always just used SAMBA for my networking - and it always just
worked, for both wired & wireless. One of the PCs in question is
connecting via ethernet and one via wireless. I'm afraid this means that
I'm not really sure what you're asking for here.

Here however, is the output from ifconfig -a:

This is for the PC that connects via wireless.
