I am trying to install a Netport express 10/100 print server on to a small network with one ME client.

I have installed the management software on the PC along with the Add Printer software.

I can configure the print server from the Windows ME PC using the management software and the web interface. However I am not able to add the printer, either through the add printer wizard in windows ME or the add printer configuration that is included with the Intel software.

I have tried adding a port. When I do I get a message saying I must input a valid network address (I am putting in the right address).

I have set up the network printer on three 98 machines and they all work fine. I just can?t seem to make it work on the ME machine.

Can any one help!!!

Please keep in mind that I have tried the following:

1. Removed all Intel software, then tried installing printer ? did not work
2. Reinstall software ? did not work
3. Remove and reinstall printer software ? did not work
4. Installing new port ? did not work
5. Capture port? did not work
6. Set up new network ? did not work
7. Change address ? did not work
Etc?.

You can most likely bypass this software by adding a simple TCP/IP printer port.

It would look like this:

IP_192.168.1.xxx:port

We use a few "EPS" units here that allow you to attach a printer via parallel port to the network. The IP would be like IP_10.64.x.x:eps1_p1 for parallel port 1.
