I have Microsoft MN-500 router. With a print DLink Print server connected to
it wired. All the computers that are connected wired can see and access the
print server no problem. The wireless connections through The MN-500 cann not
see the print server. Ping does not see it. Am I missing something obvious.
Is this router designed differently from others? All computers (wired and
wireless can access the internet and share files). The print servers IP is
hard coded not using DHCP.

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

I agree that it seems strange. I thought maybe there was something unique
about the microsoft router that isolated wireless connections from landline?
It is the same for any wireless connection attempt. The landline connections
work fine.

Microsofts site sucks for any details about there routers, or at least I have
had no luck finding any.
