I have a few questions maybe you could help me out with.

First of all, I have a blackberry that will not reconcile messages with my hotmail account.
I thought to solve that problem I would forward my messages to my verizon.net account. I am having difficulty with that,
every time I try to check my hotmail from my verizon.net account I get a message that hotmail unexpectedly terminated the connection.
Could it be that I am not entering the POP address correctly? I have it set as mail.hotmail.com

Also, when I added my verizon.net account to my Blackberry, now I am receiving all of my verizon junk mail on my phone, do you know if
it is a phone issue or an e-mail account issue that is causing this?

I do have a Gmail acct, but hotmail will not allow me to forward to it, and gmail says it will only retrieve messages for 30 days.

I have an old Gateway PC running XP 02 on 256. Way too slow so I got a laptop. Bought a netgear wireless router so I could run
them both off the same internet connection. Generally keep the laptop in the living room and the PC in the 'computer room'.
I have the printer software downloaded on both computers. If I had the proper cable could I connect the printer to the router and
command it with the laptop not being directly connected to it?
