[PLUG] Network puzzle

[Ben Koenig]

Do you maybe have an IP conflict? doing 192.168.0 seems odd to me. I'm 
not in charge of my home network, but it appears the the modem sets the 
0 subnet, and everything else (printers, computers, whatever) lives on 
192.168.1.0, set by our Netgear router.

Also, you say you have it set to

use x=0 to
100 for the printers

but I thought 192.168.0.0 would signify the 192.168.0 subnet in its 
entirety, like specifying the whole net instead of just 1 individual 
machine...  if I understand your wording it might try to set 192.168.0.0 
for a printer...? Who knows just some thoughts :)

Have fun!
