We recently moved our main computer from upstairs to downstairs.

My dh is a systems analyst so I emailed him your post and if he should happen to check his e mail today maybe I'll have an idea for you.

Sorry it wasn't much help. He said when he moved our computer all he had to do was reset the modem and then the pc and ours connected. Wish I had more ideas.

ok, I have a computer question...we just got a laptop and hooked it up and its fine. Its running the new Microsoft Windows Vista. how come we cant get it to send anything to the main computer to print? It reads the main computer and sees the printer, but nothing happens. any ideas how to get the laptop to send something to the main computer to print?

The IP address is usually provided by your internet host (comcast, aol, whoever) but I would check this:


Go to the internet (even though you cant)
At top, click on Tools then Internet Options
Click on Connections tab and then Setup


You should be able to go through the wizard and set up your internet again.

Should be a way to set up a network with your laptop and main computer then enable printer sharing.
