Printer Sharing with Road Runner Environment
I am being dense on this networking issue. I maintain a 5 PC peer-to-peer network (no server) with Internet Connection Sharing on one of the PCs which connects to the Internet via a POTS modem. Two printers are shared on the network. Windows ME Network Wizard was used to setup the network.
We will upgrade to Road Runner. I presume Road Runner will be connected via a NIC to each PC. Will Road Runner be directly connected to each PC? If so, how do I implement printer sharing? Use a second NIC? If not, must Road Runner be connected to a server and the server then connected using NICs on all the PCs. I am confused. Feel free to unconfuse me. Thanks.

The easiest way to share your Road Runner and your printers is to use a Cable/DSL router with a built in 5 or 8 port switch. The PC's will connect to the router, and the Cable/DSL modem will also connect to the router.
One product to do this can be found at the link below: http://www.linksys.com/products/prod...id=29&prid=155
