The print server model is a Linksys Wireless-G WPS54GU2 for USB 2.0.
The router model is Linksys Wireless-G WRT54G v.5 .
Right now, the print server communicates with the router wirelessly. I can
successfully print from my desk top and surf the internet.
I had tired to connect to the print server wirelessly from my lap top as
well but the print server can not be found. I tried plugging the print
server directly into the laptop using a network cable but no go.
I tried connecting the print server to the router via a network cable to see
if that would make a difference with the laptop but nothing happened either.
From the laptop, I can ping all IP addresses except for the print server.
Please let me know if you need more info...
Thanking you in advance...
