Title: Printer connected to PC wired to Router could no longer be accessed by wireless
Post by: scadagawd on October 24, 2009, 11:31:39 PM

USB printer connected to PC with wired connection to router could no longer be accessed by my laptop wirelessly.  This used to work with my old 2wire router but now I couldn't even connect to my PC let alone the printer.  Any thoughts? ???

Cheers

Reconfigure your firewall software or Win firewall.
A new router is a new network for the firewall, so in most cases you need to remove all exceptions and set them new.

How about checking your Windows printer/files sharing settings?

Not sure if I had to reset win firewall.  I have another XP notebook that sees the printer fine.  However, the notebook I have in question could surf the net but has a hard time connecting to my PC and the usb printer attached to this PC? 

Oh, the WLAN partition has always been disabled.

I've found that if i plug my laptop into the wired LAN, it prints as well as I could get access to one of my PC's hard drive.  However, when using the wireless to access these, it does not seem to work.  any thoughts?
