NetGear PS101 PS101NA

$63.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
first you have to turn off the firewall in xp or it won't find the server.
from www.amazon.com
the ps101 met my expectations.our network is one server running server 2003, nine workstations running windows 2000, two workstations running windows xp, a hardware router/firewall (does the dhcp)
from www.amazon.com
it wasn't obvious to me that accessing the ps101 from a wireless laptop thru a netgear mr814 required turning off microsoft's firewall.
from www.amazon.com
all the pcs have anti-virus (mcafee 8i), anti-spyware (spybot - search & destroy and ad-aware se personal pro), sygate personal pro firewall installed, and dhcp configured.
from www.amazon.com
i'm using xp with sp2 and firewall turned on with no problems.

Linksys WIRELESS G

from Jer from Encinitas, CA, www.circuitcity.com
set-up took me a while, but it ended up that i hadn't switched off my firewall for the first time that the server and my computer 'communicated'.
from Geoff from State College, PA, clickfrom.buy.com
i had some trouble early on with setup, but that was entirely attributable to my firewall settings being so tight that my system was not relaying information back to the print server.
from www.amazon.com
if it seems like it's performing slowly at first, be sure that you've given it all of the necessary clearance through your firewall, etc.
from lt.dell.com
the software loaded up fine on my xp laptop but on my vista pc, if my firewall is up, any time i print i get the blue screen of death.
from hfjr from Fort Walt, www.circuitcity.com
download the vista drivers from linksys site, (i found them there), turn off all of your firewalls, both your virus one, and your vista one, and then install the softwear.
