I have a linksys befw11s4. 1 wireless printer. 1 wired computer (xp). 1
wireless laptop (vista).

i can access the printer's embedded webpage through IE when hardwired
to the router. but cannot access the same embedded webpage when the
printer is using wireless connection to the router.

my printer is assigned an ip address when connected either wired or
wireless.
192.168.2.102 (wired) / 192.168.2.105 (wireless). but i can't ping the
wireless ip.

wireless laptop can access the wireless router and the internet just
fine.

how can i get the printer to work wirelessly? is there some setting on
my router i need to change? thanks.

Check for wireless isolation feature, which can cause this kind of
issue.
