I've used it without problems before I moved to this flat and returned to wires.

AFAIK it's not too keen on non UPnP NAT firewalls, but other than that it's quite non-fussy. If you're just using XP ICS it shouldn't be a problem. Just a thought - you're not trying to run it logged in on both the main PC and lappy at the same time?
Can't think of anything else that might be a prob tbh
