Looking for a computer gadget
 
#4
I have two versions of the wanted gear currently setup on my home network they being: the 500Gb version of this HP mediavault MV2040 and a LINKSYS WPS54G Wireless-G Print Server. Both ain't bad devices, just the WPS54G's very temperamental during setup - basically RTFM and no skipping steps- and my MV2020 required monthly cold-booting & a telnet samba printspool inspection to keep the printer share functional.

However, as you seem to be hooking up a multifunction, you must skip those I have for wiser folk then I have tried and failed. They just ain't designed for it, but one of these is. Heck, you've more choices for a standalone printserver from newegg then I've come across down here.

Catty, while it's probably true that most printers you've seen come with an ethernet port. The typical home/SOHO marketed printer doesn't come with one built-in as standard, and the ones that do are rare.
