me again
December 5th 03, 01:58 PM
I have read some more posts. I am operating on a Linksys
net. This computer is on the working end of an 802.11b
USB hub. Could this be the problem? For that matter, I
have had no success try to network with my wife's laptop
(for printer sharing) with this "network" either. I
finally just gave up trying. But then....why am I able to
use Yahoo Messenger with both video and audio?
