Yep, your Zen IP is static/fixed and will not change but its the box IP
that matters and the chances with a typical domestic set-up that will
remain the same.

Having done a little reading, I have found and opened Hosts (with
Notepad), and there are a million entries by Spybot, and one for Demon,
who I left years ago.

All the Spybot entries and the one Demon entry point to localhost
127.0.0.1. There are no entries identifying anything within our home
network - I was expecting xxx.x.x.x my laptop xxx.x.x.x wife's laptop
xxx.x.x.x printer etc., or have I misunderstood?
