I've been using the JetDirect 500X to serve a printer to several Windoze
boxes. When you plug it in, it defaults to IP 192.0.0.192 after 2 minutes,
and the embedded web server is available at that address. From there, any
forms & java-capable browser can be used to set the correct IP address and
administer all other functions via HTTP. The web server is probably why it
costs more than the D-link and Linksys units. It's been ridiculously
trouble-free. Recommended.
