Got my new TP-Link router up and running all is well, my spare rig in ther conservatory is connecting to the net fine and it is accessing my main rig but I can not connect to it from my main rig I have done everything I can think of.

Hi, You can get the IP address of other computer via ipconfig /all command, so try to ping each other to see what the result is. Also, as you said, you bought a new router, please try to update its firmware to check the result.
