So, all though I know next to nothing, it sounds like my printer isn't the problem. My printer is hooked to my computer with cables, but it does have WiFi options(I don't know much about this either) and I found a way to turn off the WiFi option, yet the MAC address listed on the back of it are not the same as the one the tech told me was holding on to 5 IP addresses.
The ping thing you mentioned, my ISP tech had me do something like that but only with, I think, their IP address. I have this fear of messing up something. I will try to do as you say in baby steps. LOL, sounds brilliant(if I can understand it).
