oh' brother MFC-290c scanner/printer problems

Expand Post »
So,....I bought this Brother multifunction printer/scanner/copier/fax MFC-290c that does quite a nice job. It was marked waaaaaayyyyy down. Now I know why-ha. I can't use my Voip with it. It must be

on a separate line - no splitter. My computer and fax will not work at the same time. One will always kick the other offline - usually I lose the internet.

That is no big deal. The problem is it has somehow permanently disconnected my landline I had plugged into the back on my desktop (computer) and no matter what I've tried I can't seem to

reset it. Any suggestions? I can't get it to work on my surge protector or my wireless router either. The phone does work everywhere else and no problems with my DSL when Fax is not

connected. Its like I burned something out or something desperately needs to be reset. Heck!!!!! I've tried everything.

Second problem, wireless laptop won't reset to use the router like we had it before either.

Third problem, my softphone does not/has never worked. I've tried several but always has some type of problem not covered by their tech support/unable to determine what my problem is.

Do you think these are related and what should I do? Thanks!!

ps: does anyone know of a good copy (or clone) program, free, that would only take a couple of seconds (ha) to copy (clone) my 160GB drive (entire computer + all settings, docs, etc. thanks!!).
