DHCP and WINS not working?



Make sure you have a static IP address.

Can't use DHCP or WINS with a dynamic IP address.



Well technically you can use WINS but the thought of doing it makes my head hurt.

It's a HP Laserjet 5M printer. Instead of using the LPT1 port, I will use the cable to router. I had it working before with a regular hub

it shouldn't matter. the only thing that might have happened is the ip address changed
