Print server help needed
I have a netgear print server that plugs into an electrical outlet for power.
One end goes into the printer like a regular printer cable, then there's a hole to plug in a network cable, so the printer can be plugged into the network.
Upon setting up the print server, I mistakenly assigned it the IP address of the server itself. This created a conflict and knocked everyone off tcp/ip wise. Bunch of ticked off people, no internet connection for any of them and no connection to the shared drives.
I unplugged the print server from the whole thing and rebooted the server.
I had to stop and restart DCHP in order to get anyone back on.
I uninstalled the netgear print server software.
Windows 2000 Small Business Server:
Where do I look to make sure I won't bump everyone off again in order to make sure there is no 'print server' assigned if I plug the cable back in.
Prior to uninstalling the netgear print server software, if I plugged the printer in again, it knocked everyone off, with the same IP conflict.
I want to re-install the netgear print server again, not making the IP address mistake again, but I need a place to check first to make sure all was properly removed. I don't want these folks ticked at me two days in a row.
Any gurus out there?
