*Major* embarrassment. Sorry chaps. XP not 98! I know I'm in a time
warp, but not quite that far back :-)

grin Should just play, then.

Check the preferences on the phone, that it's not been set to default to
charge-only. Does it play nicely if you plug it in to a different PC?

I'm having a bad morning :-)

When I connect the phone to my Netbook (running XP!) via USB lead, I can
see it and access it as an attached device,just like a USB stick, camera
etc.

When I connect the two wirelessly, via the home network, I can 'see' the
Netbook from the phone, and access shared files.

What I cannot do is see the phone from the Netbook wirelessly, through
My Network Places, Entire Network etc. That is what I hope to achieve,
not because I need to, but just because I think it should be possible.

More to the point, my son who is, like all teenagers, a World Gadget
Expert, told me he thought I couldn't.
