Settings to allow ethernet connection from printer to Linksys router to work
I am trying to connect a new Samsung CLX-3160FN all-in-one color laser
printer into my home network. I have a Linksys WRT54GS router which is hard wired via ethernet cable to (1) a desktop computer and (2) the new Samsung CLX-3160FN. Also, two notebook computers use this network. The Linksys router is set for DHCP. The samsung can be set to (1) DHCP or (2) static IP address. Presently, it is set to "DHCP". I can ping the IP address but cannot get a connection to work correctly. What settings does one need to include in the Linksys router settings and also the printer settings to allow the new printer hardwired to the router to work on the network properly? If it matters, I am using Zone Alarm with Antivirus. I disabled it at some points of testing and the printer failed to network properly then, also. Some information from the Linksys WRT54GS router below. Supplementary information only.

The printer has acquired a good IP address from the router. The router's firewall settings are not relevant here -- they relate to the firewall between your router and the Internet and are not directed to internal LAN connections. Have you printed a network configuration page using the printer's control panel? Press Menu until Network appears on the bottom line of the display and press OK. Press the Scroll buttons until Network Info. appears and press OK. Press OK when Yes appears. The Network Configuration page prints out. About the only thing I can think of to look for here is to make sure that you have properly configured the printer to use TCP/IP on Windows rather than one of the other networking protocols/operating systems that it supports. Were you able to install this printer on your computer, or is the lack of communication preventing the install from completing? If it has been installed, go to Printers and Faxes and check to make sure that the printer has been assigned a TCP/IP port. While you're there, click on "configure port" and check the "port settings" tab to make sure that the correct IP address is specified there. Have you previously successfully used your LAN to share files (or printers attached directly to one of the computers) or have you only used it to access the Internet? If the latter, strongly suspect that there is another firewall blocking communication between the computer and the printer. Some antivirus apps (notoriously Norton) include an "Internet Worm Protection" feature that is a firewall and must be configured to permit LAN traffic. Similarly, Nvidia network adapters may have a hardware firewall than must be configured properly. Finally, you may have to uninstall ZA, rather than merely turning it off, to be certain that it is not the culprit. -- Lem -- MS-MVP To the moon and back with 2K words of RAM and 36K words of ROM. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Guidance_Computer http://history.nasa.gov/afj/compessay.htm |
