Digital BW, The Print

I have not tried this -- and I'm not sure how Roy's software is
interacting with networking -- so what follows is speculation: 

To set up your "one computer network" it may be necessary to plug the
Ethernet port in your computer (assuming there is one...) into a hub
with a short cat 5 network cable. Otherwise, Windows may not be able to
configure local networking. If your only network device is your phone
connection ("dial-up adapter" in windows jargon) the networking
configuration Roy's software needs may vanish each time you disconnect
your dial-up connection.
