383474	2005-08-24 18:59:00	Hello to you all I have installed a network with a Linksys wireless-G . Both computers with win 2000 os. The printer is a brother 7820N. The connection between the two computers and the internet is going good. Local IP address on the first and main machine is 192.168.0.1. The printer has a preset IP of 169.254.037.058 which can also be reset. Would anyone be able to help me on setting it up? Many thanks in advance Gion :(	notechyet (4479)
