Cant connect to the nett on ibm t61 thinkpad dont know how on lap

There are so many answers to this it would take a month to type them all. 1. Make sure you have sometype of connection to the laptop either Phone line or network cable or wireless signal. 2. Based on the connection available make sure you have the correct software for the connection installed. 3. If you have a network connection ensure you have setup a network connection on the laptop. If you are using the modem make sure you have the proper dial-up software installed and setup. 4. If you have no idea what I am talking about with any of this, I recommend you go to Best Buy or any other computer tech shop and ask them to set the connection up for you in order to make sure it is done correctly.

Remote printing was working and then it stopped.

If this is a network printer. You can reinstall the drivers that came with the printer as a local printer, then go into control panel open the 'printers and faxes' right click on the printer that you reinstalled, 'properties' go to ports tab, select add port, -> 'standard tcp/ip port' -> 'new port' -> next -> put in the ip address for the printer, it will be the scheme of you subnet for example if your ip address for your computer is set to 192.168.1.1 you would use the ip address for the printer port of 192.168.1.2. after that is done press next-> after that you will be set as a network printer. Try to print a test page.

If this does not work, you can install the printer locally on a separte computer, such as your home pc, and make the printer a share. Then simply add the share printer on your laptop. for example; after you install the printer on your home pc, go under control panel, -> right click the printer -> sharing-> enable printer sharing... -> Next -> You will be prompted on the sharing tab-> select 'share this printer' -> type a share name, such as 'Lexmark2' -> click ok. at this point you will see a hand under the printer, showing it is shared.

Note: you will need to get the computer name of the pc that the printer is locally installed, your home pc. for this example lets name the pc 'home' you can find the name of your pc by right clicking on my computer and select properties. go to the computer name tab.
also remember we named the printer share 'lexmark2'

now go to your labtop, go to the control panel and select 'printers and faxes' select add a printer on the right column. a windows will pop up, click next -> select 'A network printer, or printer.....' click on the radio buttion that reads 'Connect to this printer (or to browse.....' should be the 2nd option. this is where you are going to use the computer name and printer name.

put in

\homelexmark2

click next -> then finish

print a test page, from your labtop.

If you need further help please contact me.

How do i connect to a printer

Hi Jenelle I think we will need more information to be sure to fix this problem, like the model of the printer and are you trying to connect to it with USB cable or through network (with LAN or with wifi). in most cases anyway make sure the wires are connected correctly (USB) and download the below link to identify and install your printer if it's not installed correctly. press the identify now button after connecting it with USB.

Boot your laptop with the Windows installation DVD, and you can reset the password easily with this trick: http://www.forgotwindowspassword.com/reset-lost-windows-password-without-reset-disk/ The tutorial requires a bit complicated steps. If you're a computer novice, you'd better call a friend who is a computer geek and ask him to help you remove the password.
