G A problem with my new laptop running Windows XP Pro. I use it on two different wireless networks, one at home and one at the office. Printer drivers for printers on both systems are installed on the laptop. My default printer is one of the office printers. Lately, when trying to print at home, I get a message saying "that printer is not accessible, and it is not connected to the network." The problem is that the printer is fine and is connected to the network. I have no problem printing at the office. An associate at work has a laptop and his default printer is on his home wireless network. He is experiencing the same problem as he tries to print in the office. Any ideas on how we can configure our laptops to seamlessly print on both networks would be appreciated. nnil

I was going to do the speedtest at pitstop, too, but that was the only one that asked me for permission to download something. I had to have been downloading at all the speedtest sites or they couldn't have measured my speed, but I was afraid I was downloading a program, and I always automatically click no, being phobic and all. But I noticed their Ask Dr. Tech service, where for $89. a year you can phone their experts (or em or chat) 24/7 if you have a problem. I've bookmarked that, and I've sent the link to a couple of friends who aren't on SI so don't have CL. Thank you.
