HP Officejet 6000 wire ethernet set up always fails at end of set-up script. HP forum was useless. PC is running Win XP, router is Netgear WGR 614. Router shows printer as attached device. Printer connects OK with USB

I tried using latest installation software from HP - same result. Did HP support online chat and installed the printer as a local printer on LPT1 and then changed port to Standard TCP/IP port using IP address assigned during failed installation.
