Sharing printer wirelessly with no router??
Our community installed wi-fi, so I have independent wireless internet
access from my 3 in-home computers (2-XPPro & 1-Win98SE) without

like to attach to one of those computers and share wirelessly (and
securely) with the other 2 computers via a semi home network (no file
sharing). Given the lack of a router, is that possi...

MSN Messenger pages not displaying
What causes MSN and other pages not to display, when other webpages
happily display ? The usual restart of router, take out broadband

and can anyone put their finger on what really is the cause. It is a
pain having to reset the connectivity every few weeks. When it fails,
even a friends laptop cannot access his own msn mess...

Where Is Flash Player
I think I've succeeded in saving a YouTube video to my disk using
YouTubex, and I'm told I need Flash Player to view it. I downloaded
Flash Player, but the installer didn't say where it was putting it. I
can't find it using Search. It shows up on the list of installed
programs, but with no size indicated. Any idea what my problem is?...

Video file extension
I downloaded a video from YouTube and was told it should have the .flv
extension. When I click on it, Windows (XP) says it can't open it. It
supposedly should be played with FlashPlayer, which I downloaded but now
can't find. Could it be that Windows says it can't open it because it
knows it needs FlashPlayer and it can't find it either?...
