<p>i signed up for lothian, so if there is no wifi then will my wireless printer not work?? O_O</p>
<p>yea…i have a wireless printer too
ans since we cant have our own wifi…we cant use wifi printers…bummer</p>
<p>daaamnn, really?
then how are we suppose to print?
carry our printers around…?</p>
<p>you leave it at your dorm and you print when you get back lol</p>
<p>Get back? from where…?</p>
<p>just buy a cord…</p>
<p>I guess that’s the only option here.</p>
<p>T___T technology these days… </p>
<p>you can try setting up a router to act as a bridge between your laptop and the printer. there, problem solved. </p>
<p>ps, if youre like many out there who say “does your laptop have wifi?” then here is a word of advice… because a laptop is wifi compatible does not mean it has access to the internet. there has to be a router set up somewhere within a vicinity which transmits wifi that the laptop picks up. so now lets look at this in the case of your wifi printer. your wifi printer hones into a wifi connection and sets itself up as a module on the network, just like your laptop, and the two modules can exchange information (w/e you are printing). So setting up your own router to bridge a wifi connection will solve this problem. If lothian had wifi im guessing it would not be as easy to share it on the network, or you would have to set up a password for it. try it out i guess, i know for sure itunes libraries are shared on the network if you give it some time to read all the laptops connected to the network. </p>
<p>anywho, CS or CE major please throw in some input on this! im just a chemist >.<</p>
<p>People at housing said not to set up your own routers, it interferes with the campus wifi…</p>
<p>really? not even a router independent from the school’s network? interesting… must investigate! </p>
<p>(realistically that statement by housing sounds like a bunch of horseradish… im at Sterling over the summer and there is a number of wifi set up all over the place, just like there is almost everywhere you go, so why would a new wifi signal interfere with that of mobilenet? (mobilenet is the name of ucr’s wifi) anywho, lets do some digging ya? hahha)</p>
<p>No idea…</p>
<p>Although with a router set up I imagine I could actually do some port forwarding…</p>
<p>but that might be easily caught…</p>
<p>i can so picture a chass major rolling their eyes at these convos xD</p>
<p>lol why</p>
<p>what do CHASS peeps know that we don’t…</p>
<p>im thinking of sueing Microsoft right now >_< lol</p>
<p>Go ahead and sue them, they have enough money to win the case and sue you back for wasting their time =[ LOL</p>
<p>ahh, my chass buddies get annoyed whenever i talk sci/tech stuff haha</p>
<p>okay I ll start with linux first and then take down Bill Gates in a game of football</p>
<p>flood his inbox with porn/freeps3/getslimnow/hotsingles/********touch emails, viruses will kill his computer smart house in minutes. muhahahhaha</p>
