I had a Z52...now have a Z53 but in my experience I don't
recalll ever being successful at networking the Z52.
Don't give up but I would not pull my hair out over it.
lexmark had reported to me that it was not networkable.
As for Dell cheap computers but still not sure why they
waste money paying people to work support 24x7 they are
no help anyway. They can cut cost there and give us even
cheaper machines...:-).
