Hey guys,
I'm not sure this is possible, but can I connect my Ricoh 7100 direct to my PC via a CAT5/Ethernet cable?
I'm sick of having to disconnect my laptop from the external monitor, power etc to take it over to where the Ricoh lives as the USB cable is too short. Yesterday I found a stupidly long Ethernet cable and notice that both my laptop and the Ricoh have Ethernet connections. This would be ideal, but will it work? Nothing's happening when I plug it in, so maybe needs some fettling?
Yes, I'm well aware that I could just order a longer USB cable :) But I'd rather use what I have if possible as the 66km Ethernet cable is just wasting space at the moment.
Thanks
