I have a laptop that I set up with another pc at my home as my

1) I go to college which has it's own network which I sign onto that
gives me access to the web.

2) How do I get back to my home(house) router so that I can send
anything I want to print back to my printer at home?

3) The router's standard ip is the same as many.

4) So basically; How do I find my way from the web back to my printer
at my house?

Jeff,

To send jobs to a printer, behind a NAT router at your home, thru the
Internet,
is not terribly simple. You're going to have to setup a VPN between
your home system and your laptop.

The specific possibilities for a VPN will vary, depending upon what OS
you have on each computer, and make and model of the router.


Chuck - Not to mention whether or not the college's IT people will allow
that on their network. I know you and I wouldn't.

Jeff - I'm not sure why you want to do this, but you could set up an
email account only for home and email your documents to your home
address. Or if you want someone at the house to share your documents,
send the email to them. Or you could purchase a small printer for your
room at college.
