Hello, We have 3 computers that are sharing a printer: Computer A: XP HP OfficeJet 8500 connected through USB and set for sharing Computer B: XP able to print to HP OfficeJet 8500 on Computer A Computer C: XP HP DeskJet 960 connected through USB, Linksys WRT 160N Wireless Router connected to Ethernet, Ethernet out of port 1 connected to wall. Router for connecting to Internet for laptops using WiFi. Before connecting the wireless router on Computer C, we were able to share HP OfficeJet 8500 on Computer A. After connecting router, Computer C does not find OfficeJet 8500 on Computer AIt seems as if Computer A and B are on one network and Computer C is on another network. Computer C needs to be secure as far as incoming from Internet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. jodmcc11 person needs an answerI do too

HiI do noy know what plug to the wall memss.Router is not connected to a computer. Router on the WAN Side is connected to the Internet Modem, and all he computers that suppose to Share (wire, or and Wireless) should connect to the Router to form a Local Network.Usually it looks like this.http://www.ezlan.net/network/router.jpg Jack, MVP-Networking.

Any help here?

HiI cannot help you without understanding the Topology.The word connected is simple when One deal with plumbing with computer and Router there are different ports, and different ways to connect and configure the same device. Thus just stating, "WRT160N connected to a computer is quite meaningless.A common mistake is to connect a second Router on a system through the WAN port thus creating a second independent Network.As a long shoot, maybe this can Help.Using a Wireless Router as a switch with an Access Point - http://www.ezlan.net/router_AP.html Jack-MVP Windows Networking.
