Just setup VA Adjust on the Vista PC but I have a networking problem.
First of all the Vista PC is connected to my home network and runs ok. However on completing all the settings on VA thing don't seem to work quite as they should.
ShareFS works ok.
FTPc works ok on local network and internet.
Browser works ok on the internet and I can brows to my local Netgear Router.
I can only 'Ping' the host machine but nothing else.
Uniprint gives me an error message 'Can't comuncate with Windows' if I try to print using the host machine's printer driver.

Yes I can ping every machine on the network from the host machine.
Just add. I've just tried to add Laserjet printer with HostFS::HP_LaserJet. When I click on save I get an error message 'Disc not found'.

When you "completed all the settings on VA" what did you do? There is nothing to configure inside RISC OS.
The disc not found error means that you are not typing in the correct printer name - the correct names can be found by running the "ShowPrinters" file inside the Printing directory.

Disc not found error sorted: Found hidden place in printer name.
This as also allowed Uniprint to work but after the print job is sent to the windows printer driver the error message 'Can't comunicate with windows is Uniprint.exe running' appears on the VA screen.
I still can't ping any other machine except the host computer and trying to ping VA from the Iyonix results in the 'Host down' response.
