On the Wireless Print Server, check the LAN LED.
If the LED is not ON, the network connection is not
working.
Note: To use both the Wireless and LAN interfaces,
the Wireless mode must be set to "Ad-Hoc".
If using TCP/IP:
•
Ensure that there are no routers between the
Wireless Print Server and the PC used for
configuration.
•
Ensure that the PC used for configuration has the
TCP/IP network protocol installed. Test its network
connection by seeing if you can locate other
LAN devices from the PC. (e.g. Use Network
Neighborhood and try to browser the network.)
I am using DHCP, and getting an IP Address
conflict involving the Wireless Print Server.
If the Wireless Print Server is left on, but the DHCP
server is turned off, then the Wireless Print Server will
retain its IP Address without the DHCP Server being
aware of it. Simply reset the Wireless Print Server so
it will obtain a new IP Address.
This problem would also arise if you assigned static
IP Address, which is within the range used by the
DHCP server. If so, use another address which is
NOT within the range used by the DHCP server.
