Thank you for that information. I guess I'm not alone, so maybe they will eventually fix it.

First let me reference this thread here - How to create shortcut for the “paint” in the desktop? Post 31. I read this entire thread and found no answer for my problem. I was advised to create a new thread since there had been no replies to this one in over 30 days but thought I may get more...

The problem I would like advice on is my desktop shortcuts to both Paint and Media Player, (Both Microsoft Apps,) They both keep losing their identifying icons. I have deleted the IconCache and let it rebuild itself, doesn't seem to help those 2 shortcuts. I can quickly get them back by right...

OK, I just saw something that I did wrong today. When trying to use Brother's Update Tool, I choose the wrong printer to try to update. I choose MFC-J5930DW Printer (Copy1) with USB001 port. That was never connected. So, it is very possible their update tool may be fixed. Sorry about my mistake...

No apologizes necessary, that's for sure, you have been a great help all along in this thread. Still, in case you missed my last post, I was able to update the firmware using the touch screen on the printer but it failed again when I first tried to use Brother's Update Tool. Since I do believe...

As can be seen in the attachment in the above post, I was using Brother's Update Tool. I remembered that the printer's screen shows "firmware update available," at times. I tried updating the firmware from there and it seems to have updated, at least I did not get any error message. I guess...

It's not solved for me. I just get a different error. The update finds my printer, I choose it, then I get this message when trying to update.

Did you have to do anything special to get the firmware installed, like exiting your anti-virus program?

Wait a minute. It has not been solved for me and I started the thread. I will give it a try and if I'm successful I'll mark it solved.

Thanks for your suggestions. To answer you about static connections, no I don't. I use a fellow who can remote into my machine and do that for me. Actually he sets up everything for me and then if I have problems, I call him for help. I think for the time being I'm going to ride this out and...

Thank you. I did find it and also in searching it said to use the Brother utilities in place of auto-updates. That has been tried and it too, failed.

I will look for setting up auto-updates with my Ethernet connection but Brother's support never even mentioned it. I'll do a WEB search to see if I can find anything.

So am I thinking correctly that if I set the WLAN Primary and Secondary as mentioned above, it would not do anything for me since I too use an Ethernet connection?

Brother had me print that out from the printer when I talked to them. The printout lists an IP address, a Subnet mask, and a IP Gateway address. So I believe that is all OK. Thanks for your help. It also lists a DNS address config as AUTO, Primary DNS server as 192.168.4.1 and a Secondary DNS...

When I get to where I think you are saying, I DNS server and then Primary and Secondary. Am I where you say to be and should I choose Primary? Thanks.
