PrintServer connect fail (Error message)

Hi

I'm looking for assistance on a print server issue I'm currently experiencing

My home network comprises 2 Dell Dimension 4500's running Win XP Home (SP1) and an old Gateway 2000 P5-60 running Win '95, and a Linksys EPSX3 10/100 Print Server, all linked by a Linksys 10/100 8 port switch. This setup has been working fine for about 2 years

About a month ago one of the Win XP machines reported a "PrintServer connect fail" message when we attempted to print from it. Removing the Print Server driver and re-installing from a cold boot rectified the problem for about a week. I'm now experiencing the same problem on both XP machines, despite having done the same rewmove and re-install procedure. That cured the problem for a few days

I can print test pages from the LinkSys Bi-Admin utility program but not from Win XP

Both Win XP machines are set up to use the XP auto update feature

Has anyone any ideas

Regard

Pau

Found the solution - if anyone else is struggling with this then this seems to work

Download and install latest version of Bi-Admin (3.08) - this will then allow you to update the firmware inthe Printserver to 6018

Happy to help
