Laser Jet 4100N: direct connection of Laser Jet 4100N using a crossover cable CAT5/6

Hello

I want to connect my Laser Jet 4100N directly to my laptop which only has USB and LAN ports.

The printer has a parallel port and a LAN port.

I have access to WiFi internet, the modem is located in another room.

I have a CAT 5/6 connecting cable.

I get the 192.168.1.8 IPv4 address for my computer by typing IPCONFIG at the command prompt.

I connected the crossover between my laptop and the printer cable.

Turn on the printer lit up an indicator on the LAN port on the printer.

In the menu devices & printers, I added a new option of "using TCP/IP" printer and 192.168.1.8 provided IP address.

The computer search TCP/IP but end in nothing.

Please help me to communicate with the printer.

Thank you.

You try to use your wireless PC address to print with a wired device.

Your PC has two network adapters, they are not in fact cards, they are integrated into the motherboard and but I will refer to them as cards for simplicity, or I could call ports.

When you find the IP address of your PC you are probably finding an IP address wireless, but since you're wired card has never been configured statically and is not connected to a network there is no ip address.

What I would do would be statically configure the IP address of the port wired on your PC, & I would something like 192. 168 2. 2, with a default gateway of 192. 168 2. 10, & a subnet mask of 255. 255 255. 0 and don't worry because you do not connect you to the largest network on the DNS servers. Then I go to the printer and change the network settings and give it a 192 IP address. 168 2. 10 and its default gateway I would set it to 192. 168 2. 2 and the subnet mask would be the same that you set on the PC.

Regarding the process of search for the cable network on your PC etting sand information in map, I think you need to do some research of the internet based on your operating system. I mean version of Windows operating system. Windows 7 would be different from Windows 8 in perhaps a few minor details.

The reason why I change that a number from 1 to a game in your IP address is that it puts the port wired into a network separate from the wireless port, in my view, that will keep your PC of confusion as to which port uses to communicate with the printer.

And back to another part of the discussion, the default gateway of a network printer on a small network is often on the IP address of the printer because the printer has never try to connect to what outside the network, but in your case, we want to put the IP address of your PC wired port to ensure that When the preacher looking for information, outside of himself, he sends will go to your PC.

  • Connect two VSphere ESXi 5.0 with crossover cable

    Hi all! A newbie in the ESXi 5.0

    I configured both servers of VSphere ESXi 5.0 with two network adapters on each server, the first NETWORK card acts as a virtual Internet switch, and the other NETWORK adapter serves only the link of communication (Heartbeat) between two VSphere Esxi 5.0 using crossover cable.

    My question is, how can I create such change in VSphere in a problem of communication between these 2 servers with a crossover cable? I would like to connect my (CentOS 6) VMs on each server via this network adapter with cable modem Simulator for the purposes of the communication of pulsation. I know how to create a normal vSwitch who can communicate with the Internet, but I have no idea how to create a switch for the NICs connected with a crossover cable.

    Please drop me a line if you know how.

    P.S. The idea to use the crossover cable rather than use the simple ethernet cable is the cable eliminates the overhead and to avoid the lack of packages due to the processing time of the switch.

    I know not how to create one with ordinary vSwitch to establish a connection with the Internet, but not this vSwitch with crossover cable.

    There is no difference. Build a vSwitch as your normally would, including the NETWORK card that is connected via a crossover as your uplink cable.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8610: printer directly connected to the Internet

    I'm trying to register for the HP ink cartridges.  The application calls a code to write on request.  However, the printer tells me that Web services are not enabled on my printer.  How can I connect a printer directly to the Internet.  I use a USB cable to connect the printer to my laptop.  Can someone help me so that I can complete the application of the ink?  Thank you!

    Hello @mcbrighde,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support. I understand you are trying to join the instant ink program, but need assistance in obtaining your printers code request. I would like to help.

    In order to get the printers claim code, you will need to have the printer on a wireless network. An ethernet or LAN connection will also work. This will give the internet access to the printer so that the ink levels can be monitored.

    You need not remove your USB connection for the printer on the wireless network.

    The following link will help put your Officejet Pro 8600 on the wireless network.

    HP OfficeJet printers - printer wireless (Windows) installation

    Once the printer on the network, tap the icon of ePrint/Web Services to enable Web Services and acquire the printers claim code. The icon you are looking for is in the lower left corner of the screen printers.

    You can also use the following link to view more detailed instructions.

    If you need further assistance or have any other questions please let me know.

    I'll be happy to help you.

  • "Direct connection to the desktop" and external clients

    Hi all

    I'm doing a View 4 u1 installation with a connection to the server and a security server. I just want to confirm with the setting to view administrator, check box "direct connection on the desktop.

    I find that if I check it, then external clients of internet do not work - can see the office pools, but at launch, the customer will see appear in the taskbar, disappear. When I uncheck, all external clients work very well.

    my understanding is that this check box determines whether RDP traffic will be dug by the connection to the server or it will go straigh from the clients to view offices. I though that this setting affects only internal clients. I don't see how it affects external clients that connect through the Security server.

    When you look at 'netstat' of external clients, trying to run the office, I can see the threshold to appear when the customer view disappears, it will also disappear. Looks like when the box is check (direct connection), the client view external attempts to establish the RDP directly on desktop computers, apparently, it won't work. So, how can a direct connection for internal clients only?

    TCP 192.168.20.2:56473 winxp - 04:ms - wbt-Server SYN_SENT

    any ideas?

    Thank you

    Ming

    In our environment, we have our external users (Security Server) use a broker who has direct connect disabled while internal users use a different set of brokers that are defined to use direct connect.

  • Connect the NAS (iSCSI) to vSphere using the crossover Ethernet cable

    Hello

    I have a HP Proliant DL360 G5 in a data center (housing) directly connected to the internet. To save all the VM I would fix a NAS (QNAP with iSCSI) on the server. But given that the server is connected only to a 100 Mbps switch (supplier provide only 100 Mbit) I am looking for a direct solution to enjoy better performance.

    I use on my Proliant Server internal dual port NIC (VMNIC0 and VMNIC1) and an additional port of double NC360T NIC (VMNIC2 and VMNIC3). I made two switches, with VMNIC0 and VMNIC2 vSwitch0 and vSwitch1 with VMNIC1 and VMNIC3 for redundancy. Each vSwitch has its own service with the public IP console.

    Because I would like to continue using the above configuration, it came into my mind to buy an additional network (NC110T with 1 NIC) of the card and use a crossover cable directly to QNAP NAS. The NAS has two NIC, we'll be fixed as said to the ESX and directly to the internet (to manage from outside).

    But now I don't know how to configure it. What should I do that the ESX will intervene to the NAS, and what type of IP address I need to adjust on the NAS to talk to the ESX?

    What I have to configure a vSwitch2 (with physical adapter NC110T) and a new Console of Service with a private IP address: for example. 192.168.1.1 and the card NETWORK NAS Port that connects to the ESX, I put 192.168.1.2 and then it should be possible to work with ISCSI? I can then add the storage in vSphere?

    I would really appreciate if someone understands perfectly how such things can give me an advice!

    Thank you very much

    Best regards

    Phil

    It sounds like a good plan and you have the process down to the right.

    • After the installation of the new card as you did for the first configuration, you should see additional network cards.

      • You create a new vSwitch for the internal network segment that connects the NAS and ESX you note and add these network adapters

      • Then you create the port console and IP address on the private network

    • Now both devices may be

    • In QNAP, you create your iSCSI target or your NFS volume

    • For iSCSI you go to storage adapters - properties - add the ip address of the NAS and then close and discover

      • This should find the paths of the target.

      • Then you go into storage and add and format the iSCSI volume

    • For NFS, you go straight to the storage and add the name address and NAS volume and turn up the volume of storage

    All storage will be visible and usable by ESX.

  • Connect two PCs using Windows 7 with a crossover cable

    Hi, I used the crossover cable to connect two PCs with Windows 7 pro 64-bit and I did everything right I know, but computers do not display the each other. How can I solve this big problem!

    Default gateway cannot be 0.0.0.0. In addition, computers must be able to talk to each other, so the gateway must match the IP address of the other computer. Right now, the installation program is not talking to each other.

    Try this:

    PC 1

    IP: 192.168.2.1

    SUP: 255.255.255.0

    Gateway: 192.168.2.2

  • LaserJet 2100 direct connect network assistance

    Hello techies.  I need help please.

    I have a HP Laserjet 2100 printer with a Jetdirect 600n (J3110A) card I am using with my plug for laptop Compaq V2615US as a direct connection.  It is without a server between the computer and the printer.

    Has been fighting for more than a week. Time for me to reach and ask for help.

    It is not recognized.

    Print a page of Cofiguration Jetdirect info I get the following information:

    LAN HW address: 001083F3A247

    External Loopback 03 error is NOT READY i/o card

    TCP/IP STATUS: 55 CURRENT BOOTP/DHCP

    HOST NAME: NPIF3A247

    IP address: 0.0.0.0

    IPX/SPX STAUUS: impossible to 29 net number of senses

    NAME OF THE NŒUD: NPIF3A247

    I was able to CLEAR the error of closure by doing a loopback plug.

    Using the network printer wizard I tried individually enter either the host name, IP address, LAN HW or name of the node above the address in the appropriate box.  NONE of them worked.

    Somewhere, I saw a reference to a supposed "default" IP address of the 192.0.0.192.  Tried it as an IP address, nothing helps. Received a message on the screen indicating that it was a 'default' address and suggesting that it was not fair.

    My computer's network card is a Realtek 8139/810 x Family card that is declared as working correctly by my computer and has already been used in the past in this way with a different printer.

    Key questions are:

    1 what I'm missing or doing wrong?

    2 - is a dead Jetdirect card?

    I can access a Jetdirect 620n card, but the application list I've seen doesn't have the list of the 2100 as a printer there.

    It would be worth to try myself to a substitution of the 620n for my 600n card?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Without any kind of switch between the printer and the computer, you absolutely have a cable modem Simulator for your connection "ethernet".  You will NOT be able to use a standard ethernet cable.
     
    Once you find this crossover cable and that you ran a test on the printer print to the default IP address (read the printer or jet direct instructions on the card to print or otherwise find the Jetdirect card settings) then you can create a new "printer port" using the IP address of the card direct jet to join the two.    192.0.0.192 isn't usually an IP address by any device (I've never seen anywhere.)  It would more likely be something like 192.168.1.xxx.
     
    Also, you should be able to buy a switch 4 ports and do the same thing with standard ethernet cables.  Plug the computer and jet direct card printer on the switch.
  • HP Office jet 6000: HP Office Jet 6000 used print

    Hi, I hope someone can help. I have a HP office Jet 6000 which is wired cable to my laptop. There was a problem when printing to the printer used documents. Laptop is running Windows 7 32 bit

    I tried the following:

    1: replace the cable

    2: serve all documents in the printer memory

    3: printed a report page and the trial successfully of the printer status.

    4: all ink cartridges are full

    5: turn off the printer for 10 seconds and turn back on

    6: attempted to restart the print spooler, but it is grayed out

    Hi @agh55and welcome to the Forums of HP!

    I see that you are experiencing printing problems.  I would like to help!

    I would recommend starting with a power reset.  Unplug the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug back in the printer. Make sure that you connect the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any surge protector or power bar.

    I recommend also to download and run the HP print and Scan doctor.

    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  • HP OfficeJet 200 series Mobile: 3 Surface Pro WIndows 10 - can't re eastablish wi - fi direct connection

    Hello

    We managed to connect our Surface Pro 3 Windows 10 running on a mobile printers HP OfficeJet 200 series using a Wi - Fi Direct connection not wireless. The problem is that whenever we turn the printer off or go to sleep Surface pro cannot re esatablish of connection with the printer again after on. In the device and printers OfficeJet 200 is still there but greyed out and has a status to be offline even if the printer has been for a while.

    The only way to connect it must make the entire process of reconnection to the Wi - Fi direct connection, for example by typing in the code and wait to see the device is connected. It should not this printer to establish a connection with the surface pro automatically after power on, yet the pro Surface shows that the printer is offline and I know that I had direct Wi - Fi together to establish the connection automatically. Is there a solution for this.

    The problem only occurs when the printer stops and he must turn it off to save battery because what get out us them for field work.

    We discovered that the Wi - Fi Direct is not fully supported in Windows 10. The only way you can reconnect to Wi - Fi direct is if you connect to the printer that you connect to an access point Wi - Fi. If you do this your Wi - Fi direct printer connection will be reset. The downside is that your Surface Pro 3 will lose the internet connection.

    For us, that our solution is not to use Wi - Fi direct and use the Wi - Fi function. We connected the mobile series HP OfficeJet 200 to our iPhone hot spot and we also connected the Surface Pro iPhone hotspot. Whenever we connect our tablet to the hotspot, we can use the printer because the printer is always connected to the HotSpot.

  • 1st generation ATV dead. Orange light but no screen and no resetting of distance.  I tried direct connection to Mac and iTunes open and he's not here.  Is it possible to restore to the factory without screen or remote work

    1st generation Apple TV is dead. Orange light but no screen and no resetting of distance. I tried direct connection to Mac and iTunes open and he's not here. Is it possible to restore to the factory without screen or remote workin

    I guess you tried maintained low men together for about 6 seconds - silver 1 ATV that will restart to the diagnostic partition but who would rely on the hard disk is functional and if it was ok that wouldn't work with the logic board failure.

    I guess you have not fed and attempted to restart.

    In case your AppleTV think it is paired with another remote try Menu and left arrow for 6 seconds - the light now intervenes when you press the buttons on the remote?

    Also, it could be in the video mode bad - try Menu and upward arrow together for 6 CES switch video modes, but implies that he actually started OK.

  • H710 Bluetooth and Direct Connect?

    My H710 Bluetooth works with the direct connection on my Motorola i880 phone feature?

    It is correct. Audio in and out will work with any Bluetooth headset device and an iDEN device. However the PTT function must be done with the actual combined PTT during the use of these BT headsets. There's not a BT headset device I know for iDEN combined allowing PTT of the helmet apparatus itself.

    Captive headphones (corded) allow you to control PTT of the cord.

    If you have active with Sprint DC you won't be able to remap the DC button on the side, because you will need to use the option of DC.

    If you do not DC active with Sprint you 'll be able to remap the DC button on the side that you wouldn't be able to use it to DC and are able to remap it to something more useful.

  • Direct Connect with GPS or other active data

    I'm testing the possibility of using the functionality of direct connection to and from a phone while accessing other critical mission for my work tasks. We require the use of a tracking application that captures and sends GPS coordinates to a server via a data connection and also to connect to work through tasks via a web browser application. Direct connection cannot be launched on the phone while the user has any running application that uses data, it seems. It will work when the tracking application is closed and that the browser is slow and not loading pages, but doesn't if the browser will load a new page, the GPS application is running or even just Google maps. Can you get it someone please let me know if the i1 should be able to use Direct Connect when using other services that use data? I have been informed by Sprint that it is possible (two other applications can run on the data at the same time). The phone lacks a voice, only data plan.

    No, you can't. If something is using data on an iDEN connection, that's all. That's all it will do. It's just the nature of identity. If you want a phone that will have voice and data communications at the same time, you need to use CDMA or GSM.

  • What new HP office jet printer uses cartridges 56 and 57

    What new HP office jet printers use cartridges 56 and 57. My OfficeJet 4215 is dead and I have two sets of cartridges. I need to buy the new printer and use my old cartridges.

    Hi Bolty,

    Unfortunately there is no printer 'most recent' which will be able to use the cartridges 56 and 57. You will find a list of printers that do not use these cartridges here. Since you have an older HP printer, you may be able to get an upgrade deal through HP Technical Support. You may also be able to get these cartridges exchanged for different cartridges if you end up having another HP printer. More information about the replacement of the cartridge.
