Wireless network

[muncy]

I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop running windows xp which connects wirelessly to a D-Link G604T router. Hardwired into the back of the router is an Apple Mac G4 computer and atached to that is an Epson Stylus 6400 printer/scanner.

Is it possible to set up a wireless network so that I can use the printer/scanner? I tried to do this using the XP utility but it wanted me to use a flash drive to copy the setting to my 'wireless access point' and all other devices but my router does not have a usb port.

Does the Apple Mac in the middle rule out the possibility of sharing the printer/scanner?

I have a similar setup to you and have managed (after lots of trial and error!) to get it to work. On my PC laptop I installed the printer as a network printer, and then on the Mac I went to the printer setup, and added a new printer, telling it the IP address and choosing the IP printing option. I don't know if this is correct, or recommended, but it seems to work!

I have never been able to get the PC and Mac to recognise each other on the network. Not surprising, I guess.

I think you're saying that your printer is USB'd to the Mac. If that's the case I think you've got no chance and should ethernet the printer to the router and then do what i've put above. But I'm no expert and I probably just fluked it!

Thanks Fountain.

Sounds reasonable. I'll get an ethernet cable and give it a whirl
