I hate Computers!!!!!!!

[Marilyn]

I have had it with network problems!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had cable internet with a D-Link router, and all was well with the world until I found out that our wireless computers could not print to the network printer, so I started trying to get them to. No problems with the hardwired ones.

While working on this, our cable started acting up. Would have to reboot the modem to get online all the time. Then we suddenly couldn't print from the other desktop that is hardwired on the network.

So, I switched from cable to DSL to solve the cable modem problems. It's less expensive, but faster and had been wanting to do it anyway. The the phones quit working. Found out one of the DSL filters is messed up. We also have lots of modem sounds and static on the phones when they are working even with the filters. I'm told now to buy new filters and see if that helps.

All computers on the network can now get online via the router and DSL, but we can't print from any other computer except the one hosting the printer.

My D-Link is old and there are much nicer ones out now, so I bought a Linksys thinking perhaps this will solve the problems with the printer.

Nope, the Linksys is working well and is very fast. Our internet is now fantastic on all machines!! But we still cannot print.

The computers on the network can see each other, but cannot find a printer on the host computer. The printer is shared and all settings seem to be correct, but I'm getting tired of staying up late trying to resolve the problems and am pulling all my hair out.

Suggestions????? Some of you are pretty amazing!!
