| 469903 | 2006-07-10 21:18:00 | Hey People :) I am looking for a Router with wireless and 4 Ethernet ports to share the net connection, I am looking at the Linksys WRT54GL (www.ascent.co.nz) and want to know if that can share the net connection over wireless with only the addition of a wireless PCI card. I like this one because I have heard the Linksys are good quality and feature enriched products :D Also because I am sick of having to use ICS as this is very unreliable, and my mum gets very annoyed when she can't get the net (which is fair enough).:groan: Also, we have a laser printer and a colour printer, these both have ethernet ports for network printing, will I be able to connect these and network print? Also, here (www-nz.linksys.com) is the manufacturers site. After reading this I have a fair idea that it does what I want, just want you guys to confirm before I go buy it :) Thanks peps :D |

| 469905 | 2006-07-11 00:43:00 | Yes to the secound question as well with a condition. The condition is that your os supports IP port redirection printing; xp does, 98 doesnt unless you give it some help. Not sure about anyother os's because I havent tried. You of course need to know the ip assigned to the printer. Print out a configuration page from the printer when connected to your network. A good idea also would be to make the ip of your printer static (other wise printing could become interesting one day if the ip changed) If you need a an utility to help 98 support ip printing pm me with your email address. |
