This is the IP address for the computer system where you ran the ifconfig command. This would make your router's IP address 192.168.0.1. The fact that this computer's IP is 106 suggests (by implication) that the router begin handing out IPs at 100, this is a common default setup. So, the safest course is to set your printer's IP to something below 100 (but above 1). If there is any possibility you may begin to have more devices in the future which you may need to set IPs manually on, it will become critically important that you don't use the same address for multiple devices. Today it's not a problem, but something to keep in mind. > > And your video is excellent; > & i will try to get the ip set-up on the printer asap. > I suggest using 192.168.0.2. good luck. -wes _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
