Not sure whether this is the correct group but here goes.
The network is set up like this: Router (DHCP enabled) connected into a 6-port Netgear switch from which is connected a desktop via cat 5 patch cable running XP. A laptop, also via cat 5 cable, also running XP. A D-Link AP200+ Wireless access point, also by cat 5 cable, to which my laptop connects, running Vista, and lastly a Samsung CLP 300N printer. The printer has a static IP address of 192.168.0.40. No other networked appliance has the same IP address, yet suddenly the Printer monitoring software tells me there's an IP conflict. The printer still works but it's a PITA as I have to "X" out of the error message. Doesn't seem to happen all the time... Has anyone come across this before? (The Samsung techs are stumped...) -- Asking a question? Please tell us the version of the application you are asking about, your OS, Service Pack level and the FULL contents of any error message(s) |

Hi
Make sure that what ever is with static IP, the IP number should be out of the range of the DHCP. Make sure that the core IP of the Access Point is on the same subnet as the whole Network and out of the DHCP range. Download and run this program, it would give you a comprehensive reading of every thing on the Network. http://www.softperfect.com/products/networkscanner/ Jack (MS, MVP-Networking) "Gordon" wrote in message ...

(If it's in the Router config then I'm handicapped as the router is supplied by the company my wife works for and I am very loathe to mess with it....for obvious reasons!) -- Asking a question?
