Foxpro 8.0 can't find network printer

I'm running Foxpro 8.0 and a wired ethernet network.
setting my printer like this:
set printer to \\pos1\receipt1
everything works fine until I turn on my DSL modem which is attatched to the
USB port.
Then foxpro can't find the network printer. After about 3 mintues it
finally finds the printer. If I cut the modem off, foxpro immediately finds
the modem.
Any ideas will be appreciated!

what if you use ip address instead of "pos1"? Something like:
Assume your pos1 is at 192.168.1.123,

set printer to \\192.168.1.123\receipt1

Also try using an Ethernet cable instead of USB for your DSL modem and you
can capture your share printer using NET USE....
