Hi I bought D-Link print server which requires static IP address to work. I
made it see and connect to my WLAN but when I try to setup a printer, print
server can not be found on the network. MN-500 is in router mode with default
IP: 192.168.2.1, DHCP is enabled on MN-500 and assigns addresses from
192.168.2.2 - 40. D-link Print Server is manually assigned 192.168.2.41. Any
ideas?

Try installing the printer on the parallel port(LPT1) as a locally attached
printer. You will probably get errors that the printer is not attached, but
you can continue anyway and install it that way.
After installing the printer go to the printer properties | ports and
change the port from LPT1 to an IP port and key in the static IP address.
Hope this helps

Thanks TW. I made it work with D-Link tech service. However, I had to remove
network security . Printer works fine if there is no password for wireless
network. That is probably D-Link problem. I think I will figure it out.
Thanks again.
