Shazbot!

Post by XMEN Gambit »

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>

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>
