Cannot see printer and cannot ping it
I have a small network that runs Win 2000 (Small school). I am trying to get the computers to connect to a printer via network. The printer says the IP address is 192.168.2.140, but when I ping from computers it says Request timed out, 100% loss. There is no router on this network, just a switch and a hub. Any ideas?

Ok, I found out that any pinging is only done via the wireless connection. The printer is connected to the wired adapters, but they are not working seperately from the wireless on the computers. I think I need to rethink this setup. Apparently it is not the printer. Can't I have two differnet lLANs, one working of wireless and one off wired?
You can, but you'd need a router. How are you distributing internet without a router?

There is a wireless router about 150 ft away and we cannot run cables to it. So we are accessing via wireless adapters, but need to run the laserjet off wired adapters. I am trying to set up static IPs for the wired adapters but when I try to ping those, I get request timed out. If I ping the IP for the wireless or the computer name, I get back 0% loss
