Help with wireless printer server

Hi, I'm almost there but not quite.
Setup is as follows a 3com wireless router/modem which is connected by
ethernet to my PC. I also have a USB wireless 3com print server which at
present is connected to my router by ethernet. I have a wireless laptop
which I have set up my wireless printer and can print fine, I can also print
fine from my desktop.
However the problem comes when I disconnect the ethernet cable then neither
my laptop nor my desktop can find the printer. I take the power cable, out
of the print server then remove the ethernet cable then replace the power
cable but it still doesnt work. The settings of my print server are as
follows:
Ip addy: 192.168.1.5 (
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway addy: 192.168.1.1
Domain Name: MSHOME
Wireless Name 00-12-A9-55-62-82
SSID Jesmond
BSSID: 00:00:00:00:00:00
Channel No: Auto
Network Type Infrastructure

I have also tried this on Ad-Hoc but I still get the same problem

Any help much appreciated

Print server brand and model?
Printer make and model?
Model of Wireless Router/AP? Is it actually also a modem? Cable or DSL?

fundamentalism, fundamentally wrong.

Hi the print server is separate to the router which is router/DSL modem
The print server is a 3com office connect wireless 54mbps 11g print server.
onnected to an eposn stylus photo 935 printer. the router/modem is a 3com
office connect adsl modem.

Cheers for any help

Your wireless print server needs to be on the same subnet as any computer that
wants to use it. Sounds like your wired and wireless may be different
subnets.
