    I’ve been trying to figure this out for a day or so and I’m stuck, I have two ADSL connections at home, one is mine the other is provided by work. I have a pretty good Brother all in one network printer. Is it possible for me to share this device between the two networks?

    Cheers,

    Mark

    I think it s/be easy to do so using LogMeIn's Himachi software which is freeware IF you are using it for non-commercial purposes.

    Alternatively look at how many interfaces your printer has - sometimes they have say both say a USB and an old parallel connector and MAY be able to have both interfaces active simultaneously.

    I recently installed a wireless printer adapter for someone, and all they have to do is connect, wherever they are. Maybe you could try that?

    The wireless adapter may work if I can get get it to bridge two networks. The interfaces on the printer are usb and ethernet.
