Did you read how it effected my printing?
Yes, but without further investigation I'm not sure what caused it
Given what you said, it sounds like the best thing I could do is
change my host name back to MyPC Re-boot my PC. and try setting up my printer again
But would it effect my ADSL, email, et cetera?
I have seen one ADSL connection which required you to have a particular host name set. But then I've seen a few hundred that didn't. It is possible that it has an effect, but extremely unlikely Assuming you have a working internet connection, and assuming you're not running your own mail server, your local host name should have no effect at all on your email, that's a setting local to your email client. As for "et cetera", it is possible that some program or other has the host name hard coded, but you would have had to set it up manually, so you would know about it.
I need to "stay on air".
Understandable, but it shouldn't be a problem
