Re: [Digital BW] Wireless Printer Connection

2004-03-22 by Truman Prevatt

Are you running XP? I had a hell of a time using the USB wireless out of 
my XP box just for file transfer. It took three days with Linksys 
support and the network connection to work at all. I worked find with my 
machine running 2000 but not XP.

I hooked the XP box up to an access point via an either net connecton 
and the wireless print server and it works fine on the 1280.

The issues seem to  be with some of the defaults on XP and XP unlike 
2000, ME or 98SE hide most of the network settings so they are hard to 
get to and tweak. Some of the issues I think lie in the XP firewall - 
new with XP that gets in the way of some network traffic and slows 
others down. Try turning off the firewall and see if that helps.

I'm not at all happy with the way XP supports network coms. It is one 
giant step backwards from 2000.

We imitate our masters only because we are not yet masters ourselves,

because in doing so we learn the truth about what cannot be imitated.
