the modem is acting as my router, the PC goes into the modem, the switch is
wired into the modem and the switch picks up the everthing in the house i.e the printer "Cari (MS-MVP)" wrote: Through a modem????

Something (usually a router) has to assign a TCP/IP address to the printer.
I have no idea whether your modem can do such a thing. If it can, you simply install the ip4000 as a network printer. If it's got no TCP/IP address, then you're very stuck. I cannot magically make a modem perform DHCP if it's not in its firmware. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/windows "mark luyt" wrote in message ... the modem is acting as my router, the PC goes into the modem, the switch is wired into the modem and the switch picks up the everthing in the house i.e the printer "Cari (MS-MVP)" wrote: Through a modem????
