My recommendation depends on print volume, color/B&W, etc. I was stunned when HP turned to the same breakable printer as all the others, I was crushed when my IIIp died. (And even when I was looking for high volume printers, HP was even worse than competitors for our needs.) They started doing s

[nlug] Linksys In Bridge (Pass-Through) Mode

I've got a Linksys E1200 configured in bridge mode for a few years. (I.e. it just acts as a wireless access point, it doesn't do anything else.) Things have been working well. Now I'd like to make a minor modification. I've tried connecting both through wired and wireless to it. Since it is in

I'm assuming you can interactively log in from home (or other off site networks). The first thing I would do after logging in is: netstat -tunap Look for an established connection on port 22. It will tell you what it sees as your IP address. If it sees 192.168.1.254, then it is a firewall iptabl

I do not have a Raspberry Pi so I can't test anything / have Pi specific experience. So this is general Linux / computer responses. The best option would be if you could request a static (non-DHCP) IP for it, and put that in instead. You could then avoid the whole DHCP / response time issue. If
