I wonder if anyone can help, as I'm a bit confused with my new
wireless print server.
I connected it to the wired LAN to configure it, then disconnected the
LAN cable and let it loose to run wirelessly.
When I plug the LAN cable in it works okay, wired and wireless PCs
can print to it (the wireless PCs are connecting through a D-Link
AP2100, which is connected to the same LAN as the WPS54GU2.
But with no LAN connected, irt does nothing.
On one of the wireless PCs I installed the print server driver
software, found the print server (LAN connected) and printed to it.
But not when the LAN is disconnected.
And on the other PCs I haven't installed this driver, they can still
print over the LAN, but not wirelessly, of course.
Also, I have powered it down and up between removing the LAN cable and
trying to use it wirelessly.
If I power it up with the LAN cable in the WLAN LED doesn't light, but
if I power it up without the LAN connected the WLAN LED does light
(flickers, actually), but no connection.
One point I noticed is that there is only 1 IP address. I had expected
there to be 1 for LAN & 1 for WLAN, so I'm confused by that.
So, is it broke or am I doing something wrong?
BTW, the printer is a HP LJ4105 connected through a parallel cable.
Thanks.
