Print Server Setup Problem

m...@private.net (M. N.) — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 18:56:38 UT

I have an SMC7004BR 4-Port Switch/NAT Router that has a built-in print
server (with a parallel-port connector).
For many years, I have used the SMC7004BR to connect to the Internet (via
cable modem) as well as share files between several computers. It has
worked fine.
Recently, I decided to try using the built-in parallel-port print server.

Re: Building a community network with 802.11n?

Not really, that's not how WiFi works. The question would be how would
you link those series of routers to each other? And the answer would be
of course, through the Internet. That basically defeats the purpose of
creating an alternative to the Internet.
However, for a few thousand bucks, Intel might be willing to sell you

Would it be possible to create a city-wide network with a series of linked
802.11n routers?
It appears that the major ISP's are about to switch to metered service
(charge for each gigabyte transferred).
I'd like to use 802.11n to create an alternative to the Internet. A local
Intranet for local websites and possibly for voice and video as well.

Almost everything is a switch these days, no real advantage (i.e. cost)
to having simple hubs anymore. A switch was also known as a bridge in
the olden days.
A cheap way to buy a switch is to simply buy a broadband router, and not
use its WAN port. The typical 4-port LAN ethernet ports are really just

Yes, it's a very good solution, although it's not utilized quite often
enough. The signal is faster than a WiFi connection, especially at
large distances away from the router. And of course, it is not
mutually exclusive to WiFi, you can use it in aid of WiFi for large
houses such as your example.

I haven't seen regular hubs for ages. I have an old one in the cellar
you can have if you want. (-: Unmanaged switches are trivially cheap
these days. Things like the TRENDnet TE100-S8 work well enough for most
purposes. (They have a five-port version too, I think.) I don't think
I've had much of a problem with 3Com stuff either. I just go for ones

A switch reduces potential problems to the minimum.
Any cheap soho switch will do just fine...

My friend called me on the phone and said .he has a simple Ethernet
cable coming into his desk at work. He hooks that cable to his docking
station and plugs his laptop into the docking station and away he goes
on the internet. What he wants is to bring his pc into the office and
hook it up at the same time. I told him he needs a hub but on

belated reply but thanks for your advice Yousuf. I took your advice and went for the
network-over-mains adaptors and was very pleased that a) it worked and b) it really was
plug and play - no set-up, nothing, it just worked straight away. In the eyes of the
property owner and the staff this meant I was an instant hero and that the whole mansion

Yes, because if the only two choices are RP-TNC or RP-SMA,
as already mentioned the pictures show they can't be RP-TNC.
