Hi GTS,

I have also a question regarding this step.

I have only one incoming LAN connection in my office so I use a wireless
router(linksys).

The printer is connected to the wireless router's local Ethernet socket; the
PC O is connecting with the router wirelessly; the incoming LAN connection
is connected to the wireless router through the Internet socket.

Thus we use the router's DHCP capacity.

There is no static IP address for the laptop PC O;

What can I do then?

Thanks a lot
