Was the router recently added? What is its config? What was your network setup prior to this happening and what is it now (a simple picture of the two topologies would do)?

Router was recently added by a teacher and I will have to investigate the configuration. &nbsp;We have used Novell for years, no changes there. &nbsp;I'm not sure what you mean by network setup.

Using Microsoft File and Print Sharing, we cannot see a printer connected to a computer. &nbsp;We have done this before without any issues. &nbsp;The bigest difference that I can see is that the computer with local printer is attached to the network with a Netgear Router. &nbsp;Is the router causing a problem? &nbsp;I have same workgroup names, have correct comuter name and still cannot see printer from another computer on our network.

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

NetWare is a computer network operating system developed by Novell, Inc. It initially used cooperative multitasking to run various services on a personal computer, using the Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) network protocol. It is hardware-independent, running on any suitable Intel-based PC compatible system, and a wide range of network cards. Products inclue NetWare Directory Services (NDS), a global directory service similar to Microsoft's Active Directory; GroupWise, an email system; ZENworks, an application configuration suite; and BorderManager, a security product. Open Enterprise Server, the current iteration, runs on a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
