Yes my printer is connected to Nova with N Ethernet lead and to Nettie 
by wifi.
Both are working well and it does have IP addresses for both. It 
connects to 'Tosh' the refurbished Windows 10 laptop too,  and also 
seems to work fine too.

I don't understand all that but both Nettie and Nova are running Windows 
XP the protocol IPv6 must be installed then. All I am trying to do is to 
get "Tosh" (W10) to connect to both Nettie (XP) and Nova(XP).  All three 
are running from wifi from the same Plusnet router as is the Epson 
XP-335 printer.
