I'm a volunteer in Laos trying to help fix an NGOs network. I have the following working...
PC - Hub - PC - Printer
but cannot get PC - hub - hub - PC - Printer working.
I only have them networked as windows XP workgroup, as DHCP ( and internet traffic) is currently handled by a third party machine.
Hoping there is an easy way to get this working.

Try running Network Setup wizard from Control Panel and during the setup, select Share file and printer
This way, windows will automatically setup all the devices related to printer itself
It might help

Please post the hardware and software versions of both hubs (manufacturer, model, and software version).

got 3 questions,
have you tried to link the 2 hubs together by cross over cable?
how are you setting up the printer config? (manual IP would be the best solution *Not using DHCP*)
how are you trying to connect the printer in windows printer wiz?

Hi Chunkymoves,
Try to "PING" all those connected nodes. The ping command can be very useful.
There is an easy way. We just have to help yez find it.
Chances are, the two hubs aren't new enough to autonegotiate cable wiring and you need a crossover cable instead of a regular one. Test this by pinging between machines and seeing if the pinging works with 1 hub, the other hub, then both.
If pinging works, make sure both groups are on the same subnet -- on windows, type ipconfig at a DOS prompt and make sure both are in the same network range.
Make sure DHCP isn't causing problems.
Maybe describe your setup in better detail in case you're doing something subtle like plugging one home-grade network access point into another via the WAN port, which could be sticking a bunch of firewall rules in your way (including ones that block printer sharing / SMB traffic).

I work with databases and some of my backup files are 30-100 gigs in
size. I currently use the FastCopy utility to copy files from one
server to another. (This is needed when I need to transfer a DB to a
different server). FastCopy says its 30 to 50% faster than Windows
file copy. I read somewhere that the windows kernel defaults to
4mb/sec throughput for copying.
Is this true? Is there a faster way or some utility to copy files?...

Hi,
I'd like to programmatically change the "Keep Printed Documents" option
for a printer. The option is available in the Windows UI by going to
the Advanced tab on the printer's Properties dialog. Turning it on
causes Windows to save copies of printed docs in the printer queue
(marked as 'completed').
In my research I've come across references to WMI. Is that the best
way to do change the option?

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
