    Default Thnikk's networking corner.

    In this thread, I'll do my best to answer any networking questions you may have. Based on the fact that I have young kids that are becoming computer literate faster than I thought they would, this will help all of us protect our children from the places that we would rather not have them go.

    I will also be happy to answer non-spy on your children's network activity networking topics here as well.

    For PAGS:

    The manual for your router can be accessed here:
    http://downloads.linksysbycisco.com/...1_UG_A-WEB.pdf

    If you go to page 15 of that PDF it will give you the access restrictions instructions. Basically, what you need to do is find the MAC address of the device you want to limit (her iPod - Click Settings/General/About It's shown as the Wi-Fi Address. It should be in the format of xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx)

    Create an access policy of the times you want to allow that device to access the internet, and apply it to that mac address only. Feel free to ask questions regarding the manual if it sounds like greek.

    Gnome, I'm looking into seeing if your router is capable of what we had talked about in the other thread. Remind me if I forget to get back to you on this.

    Is it possible to set up a network so I can print a document from a laptop and it will print to a non-wireless printer that is not wired to the laptop?

    It sure is. Is the printer connected to a computer that is on the network? If so, just share the printer from the computer that it is connected to, and then install that printer on your laptop.

    What's the Operating systems of the two computers, and I'll get you some details.

    Is it possible to wirekessky scan a document from a laptop. I can tirelessly print to it but for scanning it says I need USB. It would be wonderful to not have to disconnect my lap each time and move it over to the scanner to scan
    The Plan at the moment:

    Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).

    Players I want:
    Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
    Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
    Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell

    It is possible, but you need the right equipment to do so. I've been able to do so from my wireless printer, but not from a scanner that I had hooked up to another computer, or a wireless print server.

    Right click on the printer you want to print from, and select "sharing", then select share this printer.

    On the Win 7 machine do this:

    1) Control Panel==> add LOCAL (Yes LOCAL) printer. I know it's on a Network but hold your horses -- what we are actually doing is "Poodlefaking" the Windows 7 machine into thinking it's running the printer.

    2) Create NEW port==>Local port

    3) Portname is \\XPMACHINE\SHAREDPRINTER

    4) Now Windows 7 will load a driver and you'll be able to print on the XP machine.

    Cool. I will try that when I get home or maybe this weekend. It's been a pain in the butt creating a doc on the downstairs laptop and then having to e-mail or flashdrive the doc to the upstairs computer, especially since the computer upstairs is getting old and slow.

    I hear ya.

    If you need to retire that old computer, they have devices like this one that let you plug in the printer and connect it to your network. I used one for a while before I came across an inexpensive laser printer with a built in network port.

    I'll check it out. That old computer is a Toshiba laptop I bought in 2005 for around $1800. I think the hard drive is going.

    It has a green light in the upper left corner of the keyboard that is either constantly on or constantly blinking quickly. Is this the hard drive light and does this mean my hard drive is over working and ready to die?
