Please log in for more thread options My need is to buy an ADSL Router with a parallel printer port, and VPN passthrough support for both IPSEC and PPTP. I have found these current choices so far: Zonet ZSR0104DE 10/100Mbps 4-Port Cable/DSL Router w/Parallel Port Print Server Netgear FR114PUK Broadband Firewall Router + Parallel Port SMC70008ABR Cable/DSL Router W/8-PT Switch If anyone has any experience with these routers and how well they work with VPN, or can suggest another ADSL router which has a parallel printer port and VPN passthrough which works well, I would love to hear about it. Thank you ! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Thank you ! I don't have a model # for you but some advice... Make sure whatever device you get with a Print Server, make sure that parallel port supports bidirectional communications as some printers require it to work properly. Otherwise I suggest getting a HP JetDirect Print Server. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

| I need DSL router support and I only have a single network connection | from each PC. A JetDirect Print Server will connect to one LAN port on the Router and has nothing to do with if you use DSL, Cable or ISDN. If you use a Router with 8 LAN ports and have four computers, the HP JetDirect will use a 5th LAN port. As always I suggest blocking TCP and UDP ports 135 ~ 139 and 445 on *any* SOHO Router. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Now I understand. Thanks ! The JetDirect Print Server is pretty expensive, however, compared to the price of a router with a parallel printer port already on it. >
