Rogue called me at work today to say they were fine, and the thunderstorm hadn't caused any damage (I didn't know there'd been one here...). When I came home from work, I disovered that my router was dead. Now, this wasn't just a router, it was a wireless router with a print server too. Cost me 150 smackers a couple of years ago. Actually, it's not quite dead - it still acts like a switch, but all its DHCP and web configuration and even the null-modem console mode are all kaput.<br>So I drove up to Fry's looking for a replacement, and couldn't find one. Best I could do was a regular wireless router (wi-fi "B", so $30 after rebate) and a stand-alone print server, which they want $50 or $70 (or more) for, depending on whether you want parallel, USB, or USB-2 printer capability. I'm delaying the print server purchase, but I'll want to do it eventually.

That's what I'm looking for. Got a source? My printer will take either USB or parallel. <p></p><i></i>

We are converting from print server boxes to integrated nics in the servers. So we are retiring alot of them. Remind me to get you one. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><table border=0><tr><td><embed align=left src=http://www.thzclan.com/avatars/ezice.swf menu=false quality=high bgcolor=#000000 width=217 height=166 type=application/x-shockwave-flash pluginspage=http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/dow ... <td><table border=0 style='Filter: Shadow(Color=#BB1403,Direction=255)'><tr><td><span class='usertitle'>XMEN Iceman [DTM]<br>Founder and Leader of the Base Tribes XMEN Clan<br>Proud member of the Dragon Talon Mercenaries teamplayers Guild<br>Citizen of New Fenecia<br><br>You weren't much of a challenge - T2 bot after killing Iceman<br><br>- click on avatar for links - no, not sausage links!</span></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></p><i></i>

Ice: I'd gladly pay for shipping for one of those. Maybe a small procurement fee?<br><br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br> <p></p><i></i>

If all else fails, Fry's has a USB print server for $49. <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.camerasupport.com/oV/mavsigr ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>
