Thanks for your reply Keith,

The Technicolor gateway has a GUI at 10.0.0.138, which I enter into 
Firefox, where the laptop addresses are displayed. It also tells me that 
the laptops are active.

I suspect that I'm using the wrong tool to access the laptops I thought 
that I'd simply entered the address into Dolphin's address bar but that 
doesn't work now so I could easily be mistaken.

Assuming that the assigned addresses are correct, what tool should I use 
the access each laptop?

By the way, the gateway's USB port is at 10.0.0.137 and can be accessed 
by both laptops, The port is shown under "networks" in both Thunar and 
Nautilus.
