I'm using a Linksys router (the ubiquitous one, I'd have to check for the actual model number. It is wireless but the Win2k box is connected to a wired port.

4 at present, but I expect to add one more. They do not all access simultaneously.

Yes, it would be, but I'm not sure how to do that.

I can't convert this printer to a network printer, but I could certainly buy a new one. The one we have is an all in one laser, since my wife needs a fax for her business.
