How can I print from my laptop to the printer connected to my desktop PC?

Q) I recently purchased a Dell notebook computer running Vista. I have a wireless network in my home (through my local TWC) that both my desktop and notebook use to connect to the Internet. The desktop PC is connected to a printer via UBS cable but I would like to somehow print from my notebook without have to unhook the cable from the desktop. Is that possible? If so, how would I set that up and do I need to install the printer driver on my notebook, as well.

A) First thing is to share the printer in your desktop computer Right click on the printer, select sharing, choose a name and remember that name. Then you go to wireless computer and type in internet or windws explorer \\nameofthecomputer\nameoftheprinter righ click on the printer and connect. most likely it willask you for the drivers sice it is Vista. Download the drivers on your laptop and installthem. Good luck PS to know the name of the computer right click on my computer > Properties > Computer name

How can i ship a configured desktop pc from the US to the Philippines?

Q) I was trying to configure desktop pcs from the Dell and HP website but their shipping is only exclusive for US locations. Is there a way that i can get my online configured desktop pc to be delivered here in the Philippines? do i need a third party courier service or something?

A) Contact the US Department of Customs good luck- "U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) requires the export community to use the newest SED form. The newest SED (Form 7525-V, dated 7-18-2003) is available to the trade at www.census.gov/foreign-trade/regulations/forms. When the services of a freight forwarder are used, Census requires the freight forwarder's Employer Identification Number (EIN) be included in block 5b on the paper Shipper's Export Declaration (SED). See related links section for a direct connection to the Census Bureau site. As a reminder, the U.S. Census Bureau (Census) also requires mandatory filing for items on the U.S. Munitions List (USML). This requirement applies to filers who were not previously required to file through AES and who chose to file a paper SED rather than filing voluntarily through AES. The implementation date of this rule was October 18, 2003.

How do I share an internet connection between my desktop pc and my new laptop?

Q) I have a year old desktop pc, and just purchased a new laptop..can anyone tell me in simple steps how to set them up to share a dsl internet connection? the desktop is running xp and the laptop has vista...

A) Let's cover what you need to get Internet access to more than one computer at home, via wireless LAN. 1. You order or use your existing Cable or DSL Internet access. 2. Your Cable or DSL company sets up your Internet access and typically either rents or sells you a Cable or DSL "modem". Prices for Cable or DSL Internet access vary from approximately $19 per month to $80 per month in the United States. This varies based on bandwidth, location, and provider. At this point you have what is commonly called Broad Band Internet access. Now you want to share that high speed connection with more than one system or you want to be able to cart your laptop all over the house and stay connected to the internet. 1. Confirm that your system has a wireless adapter or get one and install it. You need one of these for each computer. 2. Get a wireless router. I recommend the D-Link Dir-655. Get D-Link n series Adapters if you get the D-Link wireless router. 3. Plug the wireless router directly into the Cable or DSL "modem" via an Ethernet cable. 4. Unplug the electrical cord from your Cable or DSL "modem" for 30-45 seconds. 5. Plug the power cable back in. 6. Check the Cable or DSL "modem" for green lights. 7. Make sure that the properties of TCP/IP are set to Obtain IP address automatically, and obtain DNS automatically on ALL of your computers. 8. Turn on or reboot your system(s). Now you should be able to stay connected to the Internet with all of your computers. If you can not access the Internet from every computer: Attempt to log in to your wireless router via your web browser (internet exploder or Firefox) by typing in http://192.168.1.1/ Then log in using admin and admin typically. Be sure to change the password to something of your own choosing. Enable DHCP by following the instructions in the manual for your wireless router. You only need one wireless router for you wireless LAN. One wireless router can potentially accomodate up to 253 wireless computers. My wireless router only has MAC tables for up to 32 devices. For extra security: 1. Don't announce the SSID of your wireless router. 2. Use WPA2 if you can. WPA-PSK if not, or WEP at the least. 3. Put the MAC addresses of all of your computers into the MAC routing table of your wireless router and ONLY ALLOW from the addresses in the table of the wireless router. 4. Turn the SPI firewall of the wireless router ON. 5. Filter anonymous or incomplete packets.

can i have a wired desktop pc along with 3 wireless laptops all on the same network?

Q) i currently have a cable modem and a us robotics wireless router. The desktop pc is wired into the router, and the laptops are all getting internet via this router... now all laptops are running windows xp while the desktop is running vista... can this be done or would i need to get a wireless adapter for the desktop pc?

A) As long as your desktop has the main connection via cable through the modem, you should be fine. The only downfall with having a large amount of computers on one network is your internet speed. It may get affected from the lack of necessary bandwith, especially if every computer is running at the same time.
