[QUOTE="laxexquis, post: 940015, member: 70316"] Hello everyone. Thanks for all the replies. First of all, I do have an Xbox in my house, but it was not turned on at the time, though it is connected to the network. Second, it is DSL, by Verizon. The DSL modem is wireless and them I have an ethernet wire going out to a router that splits to my xbox and the wired computers. I see your idea that if I unplug the modem the printer should still be there, the only thing is that the modem is also the wireless router all in one piece. Frankly, I have no clue how to change it to WPA, as I had it all set up by verizon. I'm not very good at working with networks. Let me just run one more thing by you. I am not positive, but last night while messing around, it seemed that the "new-host-3" appear only when we had the new Macbook pro connected to the network. FIrst eh macbook pro would appear then the new-host would appear. This macbook was the computer used to put the printer on the network, but keep in mind the printer is not plugged in. Let me also ask, is it possible for some oveer the internet to get to our network? It is highly unlikely that this is a surrounding household as I live in a rural area with houses fair apart and the only one I would think is close enough already has their own wifi that I would use before I got my own. Thanks again for all your thoughts. John [/QUOTE]
