I have a problem, possibly relating to my Epox chipset.
I have a Belkin Pre-N wireless router to share broadband with my desktop and laptop. I plugged in the new HP 2600N printer into my router.
I cannot install the HP network software. Something about encounting an error and have to shut down setup. I have the router firewall enabled and WXP SP2 firewall enabled also. I suspect that the firewall on the router stops the HP application from accessing the network. Although subsequently, I found out this was not the case
But then, I did find out that my Laptop, an Acer Centrino, with builtin Ethernet port has no trouble to find and install the HP 2600N wirelessly.
I knew that I had trouble with the Nvidia NF4 Ultra chipset driver 6.66 version so last night I did a clean install of XP and Nvidia chipset drivers and video card. It was late and I quit.
This morning I tried again to install the networked printer to my desktop. The driver did not install. I keep looking at my Network connection and for some reason 1394 keep showing as a LAN or hi speed internet connection in addition to the Local Network Connection which is also LAN and hi-speed internet with an Ethernet. I could not disable the 1394 connection, something about other protocols depend on it. Did you guys see this 1394 and Local Network Connection?
I wonder if anybody with an Expox 9NPA Ultra has installed a network printer to their XP - SP2 system.
With a clean install of XP and Nvidia chipset driver 6.66, I thought that it would be a slamdunk install but that was not the case.
I only installed the Ethernet, Network Bus Enumerator. I did not install Nvidia IDE, NAM and Sound codec and applets.
MS IDE drivers and Realtek drivers 3.76 were used.
I finally installed the HP LaserJet on the USB connection and it's working OK.
