Chri5 Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 yep, if you set your printer to 192.168.1.80 or something close to that, it'll be static and then you can change your computers to point to the new adress Quote
Chri5 Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 no worries Andy, glad to be of help. Fingers crossed Quote
Blatman Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Recently we've had loads of trouble with out internet connection, to try and eliminate any issue internally I've moved the router and plugged it straight into the main BT socket. Previously it was connected via a 10m extension lead into our upstairs 2nd BT socket. Anyway, we could print to our printer (Dell 1320 colour laser) through wifi from all our p.c.'s / laptops no problem when it was plugged direct to the router with and ethernet cable. Now I've move the router I can no longer plug direct, I've tried connecting it to the router via a mains network adaptor but the p.c.'s can't find it. Hope that makes sense, any suggestions? Make sure you have an ADSL filter on EVERY BT socket in the house, whether you have a router plugged in or not. It's a simple but often overlooked problem that can cause a surprising number of issues with internal connectivity for the internet and the phone system. Quote
