:( I really need help.
My Brother MFC-440CN is connected to the home router and all the 6 computers around the house can print with no problem. I can't seem to find a way to scan using the printer through the router. I want to use Windows Vista's Fax and Scan. So, I click on new printer and answer all the questions and all except when it comes to me asking about the printer name. :eek: I can't seem to find the right name. I went in the Start Menu, Network, double-clicked on my router to bring me to the user identification thing. I enter the credentials and go find the list of the connected devices. Here is my list:
Dynamic DHCP Client List :
Host Na IP Address MAC Address Expired Time

I'm guessing that it's the last one :rolleyes: . But Windows Fax and Scan won't take that name. I tried the IP adress but that didn'T work either. I need to make this work cause every time I want to scan, I have to bring the laptop downstairs and connect the printer via USB. I there's absolutely no way that it would work with Windows Fax and Scan, I'm OK with using another program.
Any ideas?
