FVS336G Printer Sharing
We've recently set up an FVS336G and since doing that, one of the printers on our network is no longer sharing successfully. Other printers are sharing successfully. The host computer can print OK,...
First - the FVS336G has no impact on the sharing of resources across the LAN, however, whether or not the FVS336G plays a role in the problem will depend on how the printer is being shared.
You say the "host computer" can print OK - which suggests that the printer is connected to a computer, rather that being directly attached to the network or via a print server - if this is correct, focus on that computer, and it's firewall settings.
Second - you say the printer worked fine before the FVS33G was added - ho/why was the FVS336G "added"? If it replaced an existing router it should not cause any problems, apart from a possible change in the ip range being used, however, if it was "added" to the network, so that there are now two routers, that could be a problem.
