We have DSL and our Linksy router, but I didn't know I could set it up on a 'network.' My computer is hooked up to the DSL and router and I have a printer. The boys each have their laptop, but they share a printer..using a USB thingy.

That's all I know. It would be cool to print from each computer to just one printer...I like their's better than mine.

I don't have dsl - I use optimum online for phone, cable tv and my computer. I do have a lynksys and bought a cheap printer/scanner/copy machine which I hook up to with a USB cable whenever I want to print. I use a laptop and don't print much though.

Your situation sounds much more complicated. Is it a wireless printer?

The printer is hard wired (USB cable) to the main desktop on the network. I've given up for now. I may check to see if there is some type of USB splitter or something that I can use to just hook both computers directly to the one printer and forget about using the printer on the network. The frustrating thing is it used to work the way I want it to now, and I can't figure out what happened.

There are splitters, but it is so annoying when something like this happens!

Wow, Judy, this looks like a great site. I will have to register and post my problem and see what happens. I've also wanted to try setting up our LCD HDTV as a computer monitor to view pictures and see how they look. I think this site can help me determine if this is possible, and if so how to do that as well.

Thank you so much for the link!!!!

I'm so glad you found the site helpful. They answered a question I had about my broken USB port hub.
