Using DI-524UP with win 98

by ec . Updated 18 years, 6 months ago

Can anyone crack this one?

I have two computers sharing an internet connection through a DI-524UP router. One is running Win 98 and the other one XP. It works fine on both of them.

However, I would also like to share a printer connected to the print server on the DI-524UP. It works on the machine that runs XP, but I cannot set up the printer on the one with Win 98.

According to the manual, the printer should be acessed throug a TCP/IP port, which is an option when setting up a printer in XP. But you cannot chose a TCP/IP port when setting up a printer in Win 98. I have tried to find out if I can create a TCP/IP port for printing, but could not work it out.

Does anyone know how to do this or have a suggestion for a workaround? Any help would be greatly appriciated.

The D-link support service turned out useless: “We do not know (sic!) how to set up the DI-524UP in Win 98, but here is how to do it in Vista… We hope this helped you solving your problem” Eeeemm…. no!
