New question: Can anyone offer some help on how to wirelessly connect my work laptop to my home printer?

My Toshiba vista-run laptop is wireless via Linksys router, and I want to be able to connect it to an HP laserjet. Do I need to do something on the laptop first, or on the PC that the printer is connected to?

(Just to clarify, I don't want to be at work and have the ability to print something to my home computer, lol. I bring the laptop home all the time and would like to be able to print from it while I'm at home, instead of transferring files back and forth from one machine to the other.)

You have to do one of the two things:

1. Connect your printer and your wireless router using a printer server. Because it's a work computer, I'd recommend this.

2. If you have a home network that you can connect to using your work computer (and that means usually changing the domain), then you can share your printer. But that usually doesn't work so well, cause you have to flip things back when you get to the office. And if you have to connect to work resources, you usually can't.

Someone know of an easy way to hook up a computer to wireless internet via a Verizon Fios modem already set up for wireless? Step by step for a dingleberry? I've tried using an adapter, using another router, everything but still cannot get on. I show that the signal between the modem and the adapter is strong, but will not let me online. I know I am missing some kind of important step, but it is killing me.

Does the wireless router have security enabled?

I figured it out. Derr. I was skipping some major step in connecting, and the software that came with my adapter wasn't playing right with the XP setup from the main pc. I disabled that software and just used the Windows setup and linked right up.

Probably a long shot here, but... is anyone really comfortable with Microsoft Project? I have a master project that I'm trying to link multiple projects into. I want the values in the master project to exactly equal the sub projects, so that if I change a date on a sub project, it will automatically update the dates on the master. I know that I can link them as predecessors or successors, but that doesn't give me exact matching values on both projects.

I guess, essentially what I want, is to be able to make one task on one project equal exactly the task on another project, much like how in Excel you can make a cell equal another cell, and they both update when you update one? I'm trying to integrate all my separate client project timelines into my master internal traffic/resource plan.

I spilled Pepsi in my backpack today and ruined my cell phone. It also got on my USB flash drive, which has my dissertation and everything else on it, but the cap was on the USB. Will I be able to use it still? at least to get the info off it? I just got a new laptop and I'm not too keen on putting it into one of my USB slots in case it screws stuff up.

I was wondering if anybody else was having a problem viewing video on YouTube.. nearly every thing I try to watch says, no longer available. I googled the problem and saw that it seemed to be happening to other's. It suggested that I download the HotSpot Shield.. that didn't help at all. Anybody else have to deal with this issue? (do you think it makes a difference that I am not in the United States?)..

Oh,and I'm still running on Windows XP...

Kelli, I have the exact same problem. I used to be able to watch them, then one day...no longer available. Haven't been able to fix it....yet. My brother, who is a computer genius is supposed to come over soon to check it out...

I had the same problem so decided to download Firefox and now have no problems viewing YouTubes in that browser.

If you download FireFox, do you not use internet Explorer at all anymore?

I get nervous playing around with things I'm not familiar with.. (which would explain why I still have XP instead of Vista!..LOL)

Cinnamon: If your computer whiz brother-in-law figures it out for you, if it's not too much trouble could you post what to do over here? :-)

Kellirippa, Firefox is an alternative to Explorer, so you should (mostly) only have to use Forefox once you've downloaded it. I only started using it a couple of months back, when I got a virus and had to reload everything - Firefox is meant to have much better security.

When you load firefox I think there's an option to transfer your favourites/bookmarks over and then it's pretty much the same as Explorer really.

There are a few websites where I can't use Firefox as the websites haven't migrated properly (Netflix Watch Instantly is one, grrrr). You just have to use Explorer for those.

I like it, and am glad I changed.

I was nervous about it too. I also have XP and was having problems with viruses. It was very simple (and quick) to do and I also selected the option to transfer everything over so all of my favorites/links are in the new browser. I still use IE for my work webmail, though it does work in Firefox just not as nicely as IE. I rarely use IE otherwise.

This is where I downloaded it from:

IE8, in beta now, has much more security features. You can install Firefox and use either IE or FF at the same time. (I have to test using various different browsers.) Some Web apps don't work in browsers other than IE, so it's a good idea to keep IE and just add on another browser. Or two.

If you use Firefox, you might want to download the IE tab add-on; it allows you to see material that plays only in IE. And download the Ad Blocker Plus add-on, too, and subscribe to (most of) the adblock lists (but not those that have not been optimized for adblock). It makes browsing incredibly fast. It's also really easy to import bookmarks from IE...

I haven't used IE in at least 2 years and I don't miss it one bit.

Well, as long as we are talking about it, I downloaded Firefox 3.0.1 a week or so ago (have used Firefox for years), and now a lot of flash stuff doesn't play in Firefox, where it did before. Sometimes I get a message that I need a flash plug-in, but when I accept the plug-in download, the computer tells me I already have that file. Very squirrelly, haven't spent much time on it yet, as I downloaded the "View Page in IE" add-on also, and I usually just switch over to IE instead of trying to fix Firefox.

Another thing you can try is to Right click on the video, or any flash on your screen,and the Flash Player settings will come up.

Go to the privacy tag and hit advanced...it'll take you to the Flash Player Settings Manager, it'll take you to this website flash Player settings manager.

Goto the website settings storage panel and delete all.

Your Flash Cache may be full and needs to be reset.

Heh, I would love to try that, Nick, but I did some Googling, found out some others are having the conflict as well (everything plays just fine on IE). I tried a few of the geek-recommended fixes, and they did not work, uninstalled and installed a couple different versions of flash, and ended up reverting to Firefox 2.0.0.16.

I'm looking for a new pic resizer. I had LviewPro on my old puter so I put it on the new puter. The only problem is that with the new version there's no way around going past the trial date of 30 days. I tried picaso but you can only resize pics thru email. So, then I tried vso and can't get the pics small enough for this board. So, I'm looking for suggestions.
