Thank you again for your response...Really gives people like me the confidence 
to ask in this mailing list...
I know that we are connected to an ADSL modem and we are renting a router 
device to act as our gateway...I know the login & password for the router and 
I can possibly change the settings BUT, this is where my problem is...
I have been using FreeBSD for the last 7-8 months now since I threw away my MS 
Windows CD's because I have finally found the OS that was meant to be mine.
Since I have been using FreeBSD, I still have not configure my printer 
settings and when people asked me why, I used to answer to them that I am 
using FreeBSD and I need more readings to configure my system but before I 
could finish the last phrase of my sentence, they would say "Oh, your not 
using Windows! so you are using Linux!..." "Why use strange 
things?"...Imagine that Linux sounds strange to them, what would happen if I 
start explaining what FreeBSD is!...Hehehe...And the person in-charge on our 
network does not even know why we have to configure our DNS numbers from our 
ISP in order to connect to the internet...!!! and I only understood what DNS 
is after I started FreeBSD...When I tried to say that you should try FreeBSD 
because I learned it using the said OS...and the answer was "My mind is no 
longer interested in strange OSes...!!!
So I do not want to ask about this thing because I know that they will not and 
can not understand...hehehe
Sorry for this kind of response but I really appreciate the time for your 
responses and I will take on this challenge in another environment in the 
future...
Forgive me for the wasted bandwidth...
