Hi George, " Is the "hub" allocating IP addresses, or is one of the PCs acting as a DNA server? " My main computer is the acting server. " My gut feeling here is that you really need to set up the Index with a Static IP Address, and then set up a TCP/IP Port for that IP Address. " I did this George using the IP address of "192.168.0.2 and 3" but nothing happens when I try to emboss. I think the only thing I am getting are dots on the screen but they aren't printing off. One of the problems I am facing is that while my other computers are working on dynamic address I then don't know what address I should use for the printer itself. " You now need to install the Printer, or if it is already installed, go to Properties and under Ports, select the IP_ port you have just installed. " Yes, it was already installed and I made the necessary changes in its configuration. " In DBT, you need to select Windows Device and the Index printer you have installed. " Done this and made the changes. George don't know if its of any help but I have noticed today that my embosser isn't even producing any help sheet. I mean when I press help on the brailler nothing happens. Surely this isn't normal???. Paul.
