turn on printer and broadband turns into dialup
A neighbor installed a Canon printer in an XP system with Comcast broadband
cat5'ed to a nic card. With the printer off, all is as usual. Hit the power switch and the internet screeches to a snail's pace. Just like, or even worse than dial-up. Anybody have any ideas on what's causing this? I couldn't find anything. Thanks, Mike |

ESCD, hmmm.... never heard of it.
Reset? As in there is an option under a fild named ESCD of reset somewhere in the bios, or reset as in pull the battery and jumper the clear cmos pins?

Long long ago, that would have been one of those
decrepit 3Com cards that demanded a special interrupt .. generally IRQ 3 or 5. See if the stupid thing has a coax connector. johns |

thanks Jad, for your help. I set the mobo to defaults, etc.,
this morning, but still got the problem. I fixed it, though, sort of. Guess what? Well, he had a usb2 card installed, and the printer was plugged into that. I pulled it, and plugged into a USB1 slot on the mobo, and that solved the problem. The card was installed correctly, no yellow exclaimation marks in hardware device, etc. so... ??? Not a "real" fix, but an acceptable workaround. Mike "`AMD tower" wrote in message news:O_t0g.1492$9.530@trndny04... reply in line "JAD" wrote in message ...
