I need help on installing the Linksys Wireless Printserver WPS54GU2. It
seems that everything works fine, accourding to burning green lights and
even a test page that prints. But it still doesn't work.
I would like to change the DHCP into a fixed IP-adress. What is a valid
address? Other suggestions?

What other wireless devices are on your network? IE what brand and model
number?

Did you change the factory settings on your wireless router, or leave it
as it came? This will help the people here asnwer your "what is a valid
ip address?" question.

What do you mean by "it still doesn't work."? Are you getting a printer
communication error, or is nothing happening?

Was the printer at one point connected to the computer that you are
trying to print wirelessly from?

Have you installed the printer on the computer that you are trying to
print wirelessly from as a network printer?

I left it as it came: it assigns dynamically IP-adresses

I tried to print a document, which didn't come out of the printer

Win XP-notebook connected to router wireless
Wireless prin tserver connected wired to printer and wireless to router

I've installed the wireless printer on my WinXP notebook according to the
manual. No problems, apart from documents that do not come out of the
printer.

Can you go into the config page for the router and look in the dhcp
settings to see what addresses have been handed out? Then try to ping
the one assinged to the print server.

You still don't say what kind of wireless card the computer is using or
what kind of router you have.

What kind of printer? I know that my shitty lexmark goes to sleep after
a while and xp does not recognize it if you wake it up with the os
already running, so in order to print I have to reboot the machine with
the printer awake. Sucks ass, so I don't use it unless I REALLY have to
print something.
