Hello again folks...straying off thread a little again, but you may have an idea!
Going mad trying to configure my wireless printer...
Main router is 1.2.3.1 netmaks 255.255.255.0
Router can ping printer 1.2.3.3 netmask 255.255.255.0, gateway 1.2.3.1
So I know printer is on the LAN
Router can ping laptop 1.2.3.2, 255.255.25.0, 1.2.3.1
Laptop can ping router & other wireless PC on the same network, so LAN is working.
Laptop can NOT ping printer!
Get Destination net unreachable (laptop running Vista)
PC can also ping router, laptop, when ping printer get:
Request timed out even with -w 10000 parameter! (PC running XP)
Laptops, printer get IP addresses etc via DHCP on router.
Router is using NAT to connect various PCs to internet
Turned off laptop & PC firewalls - no difference. But had aleady added LAN to trusted network anyway.
Am I right that the router doesn't need any additional configuration to allow network traffic on the LAN side to talk to each other...? Therefore in theory at least, the PC & laptop should be able to talk to the printer...
If it makes any odds, the printer is a Lexmark X9350 & support on Lexmark site is rubbish. Tried emailing, but no response yet.
Many thanks for any suggestions
