OK - I'm not the most port savvy guy in the world so please forgive me but.

I bought an HP Envy 100 D410 printer.  Love the concept of it but can't get it to connect to the router.

When I connect to wifi I get an IP address of 169.254.146.200 which is outside of the ip range of the router.  So I plug in a manual IP address of 192.168.0.155 and enter the MAC address into the router.  OK - now I see the printer in the router's status page BUT - I still can't get this printer to connect to the internet.  I spoke to HP and they say that I need to have these ports open:

UDP ports: 137, 138, 161, 427.
TCP ports: 137, 139, 427, 9100, 9220, 9290, 9500

How do I know if they are open and if they aren't how do I open them.  I see the Virtual Server and Port Forwarding sections in the router but I have no idea what I'm doing.  If anyone can help me solve this I will be forever grateful.

Thanks...Mike

You shouldn't need to open any ports for a printer.
Is this printer wired or wireless?

Ensure DNS IP addresses are being filled in under Setup/Internet/Manual?
Turn off QoS options.
Turn off Advanced DNS Services if you have this option Setup/Internet/Manual.
Turn on DNS Relay under Setup/Networking.
Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices on the router.
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP.

What wireless modes are you using?
Try single mode G or mixed G and N?
What security mode are you using? WEP, WPA or WPA2? Preferred is WPA2 and Cipher type to AES only if your device support this.
