I have what may be a simple/stupid question for the networking/hardware people out there as I'm a software person for the most part. If I were to use a USB B male to cat-5 adaptor (which, despite my best efforts at the moment, I can't find) to plug my USB printer into my wireless home router, would I then be able to access the printer via an IP address? Thanks in advance!

I just want to make a recommendation for anyone who needs a good website hosting company - I have been using Siteground for over 2 years now and they have been fantastic, reliable, and have a great support system that let´s you have replies from them within only 10 mins!

Apart from that they are CHEAP, but offer much more than other hosting companies with an amazing amount of extra (OS) software included for easy installation and integration and a whopping 750GB of webspace (that´s GIGAbytes, people!), 7500 GB of monthly traffic, free domain name, unlimited MySQL DBs, unlimited email accounts and loads more goodies that are too many to mention!

So here´s the link again, do check them out:
SiteGround is my web host

PS.: Okay, so I get a year of free hosting for every 3 people that sign up, but I didn´t tell you that! ;)

I'm a first-time  poster, but I have a terrible problem with my USB.

My USB is a Verbatim Store 'n' Go Mini 1GB, with most of the files password protected. I've used it for a few months now with minor glitches and it's worked fine. However, these last few days I keep receiving the message that it has to be formatted.

I wouldn't mind that so much...but I have lots of files on that I haven't been able to back-up. I've definitely learnt my lesson about that now...but is there any way I can back up the files before formatting it, despite the fact that it is probably corrupt? Or is there any way I can fix the USB without having to format it, as it says? These files are incredibly, incredibly important to me, right now.

I've downloaded numerous trials of programs that claim to backup files, as well as free software that claims to back USB files up...but none seem to work or do much at all.

I could do with any word of advice, thank you.
