router cannot see Brother printer
"David H. Lipman" wrote in message ... From: "Sylvia M" "David H. Lipman" wrote in message ... From: "Sylvia M" "David H. Lipman" wrote in message news From: "Sylvia M" correction of typo... I'll file that in the back of my mind...but at this time I'm just happy to be a happy camper, keeping plugged into the router as well, otherwise why I do I have it? Please don't answer that ;-) Now I can get back to two projects that require print-outs. Sylvia What is the exact model of the "Linksys Wireless-C Broadband router" ? It's a Linksys Wireless -G Broadband Router, 2.4 GHz ModelWRT54GS V7 This morning, my computer popped a window saying it found 'new hardware' and did I want connectivity between both computers, to view each other's programs. I x'd out. Last thing I want. Sylvia I'm confused... You stated it is a Linksys WRT54GS v7 http://support.linksys.com/en-us/sup...outers/WRT54GS I don't see any reference to a USB interface on this Router/ In the back of the router are 4 USB ports (Numbered 1,2,3,4), one of which is connected to the printer, the other to the computer 'tower" Ethernet it has one more port (yellow cable if that matters) the other end of which is connected to the Modem. It also has a male connection to a cord connected to electricity. It 'sees' a neighbor's computer, but I denied access to it. BTW, does this mean it also has Wi-Fi capabilities? Sylvia OMG ! They are not USB ports. They are Ethernet ports using an RJ45 8-pin telco socket. The 4 ports are part of the Local Area Network side of the Router and comprises what is called a 4-port Ethernet Switch. The other Ethernet port is the Wide Area Network (WAN) side of the Router and is the Internet part of the Router. The Router will get an Internet Protocol address from your Service provider which will be by a Cable Modem or a DSL Modem. That one Internet address is then translated via Network Address Translation (NAT) such that you can have 253 devices connected physically to the LAN side of the Router or logically through the WiFi provided by this model Router. The Router translates any of those 253 LAN addresses that that one WAN address. There is NO USB port on this model of Linksys Router. -- Dave Multi-AV Scanning Tool - http://multi-av.thespykiller.co.uk http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp O.K. I'll settle for having the potential of 253 devices. ;-) Who wouldn't? Sylvia |
