Need to know about Networks

Name: ARPANET 2006-06-04 22:22

What I really need to know is simple, If I had to use one printer for three computers, (One of which is a wireless laptop), do I connect the printer to a router or a HUB?

I mean, I was told earlier that if I wanted to connect a printer to a whole network one of the ways would be to use a USB to RJ45 adapter onto the printer and to a router (with a wireless access point). What Im trying to figure out though, is if the laptop is wireless then what am I supposed to do with this hub?

I connect the computers and servers to the hub, and the hub to the router, and the router to the modem. But not the laptop?

For the record, I admit my ineptitude in this matter.

(Oh, and this has been pissing me off for a while, but whenever I try to hit a forward slash key and other symbolss my computer keeps bringing up that little find toolbar, what the fack?)

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention this but I'm planning on using a star-bus topology with 100baseT Ethernet, if that in some way is relevant.

I also realize I need a network adapter if the laptop is going to connect to anything, much less a Wireless Access Point hidden inside a router.
