Is it possible to use the ethernet port of a laptop to feed a printer while the laptop is connected to the Internet via a usb-tethered verizon/netgear airpack 791L? Network manager appears unable to find the printer. RLH

In theory, it should be. You may need: * A "cross-over" cable. If you're not using an ethernet switch between the two devices, then a cross-over cable will avoid both devices talking on the same pins. * A DHCP server on the laptop. The easiest method is to configure both the printer and the laptop's ethernet port with static IP addresses (192.168.5.1 and 192.168.5.2 should work (192.168.X.Y is a private range and 192.168.5.Y probably won't be used by, say, the internet connect)). > >RLH > -- For more information, please reread.

However this could be tricky. Usually the verizon devices put you into 192.168.1.0/24 network. This is also the network most home routers put you in. It might be possible that those two network collide. Most likely you also get your network settings via dhcp. Here also the two different network collide. Most likely the later connection will overwrite the first and screw things up. I would recommend setting up one network manually making sure that they have non colliding networks. -H -- Henning Follmann | hfollmann@itcfollmann.com

Thanks, Henning. The solution I used was: - configure the printer for ip address 192.168.3.201 with gateway 192.168.3.1 - add connection 192.168.3.1 in network manager - plug the ethernet cable from the printer into the laptop ethernet port RLH
