hello everyone
i am having some issues here. we are doing away with our current internet/phone service but need to get the new network up and running before we do away with it completley.
currently the internet provider runs at 1.5mbps (very much in need of an upgrade) and uses the embarq 660 series modem/router. with this the printer is not found but is easily set up via the hostname or ip address. no big deal works just fine.
so we are setting up the network on the clear network and with a new router, we've tried a few but all have the same problem but the linksys router is the one we like the best.
so setting up the network goes just fine. it finds the much older and slow printer and its easy to get all the pc's to connect but connecting the hp printer just will not happen and i've nto been able to figure it out.
when i connect the printer to the router via the eithernet cord the route's light lights up solid like when a device is connected to it.
i can't ping the printer and can add it to the pc's via the hostname or ip address.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
any suggestions, tips, etc
thanks
ryan
