Good morning.
I've been experiencing a quirky, random network access issue in Linux only with both F8 and F9.
The network looks like this
- Linksys WRT54gs wireless router, connects to the Internet via a cable modem - Dell 1720N networked printer, plugs into a router port - Linksys print server, connects an HP all in one to the wireless router - Windows laptop, connects to the wireless router via wifi - Linux laptop, connects to the wireless router via wifi
Most days this setup works well. No problems.
However, every once ina while I get a "Printer may not be connected" error when I try to print to either printer.
If I then open a browser on the Linux machine and enter the IP for the router, I cannot log into it. (http://192.168.1.1) It gives me the login screen and I put in the right username and password, but it rejects me.
If I open a browser on the Linux machine and enter the IP for the laser printer, it tells me it isn't available. (http://192.168.1.100)
It doesn't matter if the browser is Konqueror or Firefox, neither one works.
However, if I do this on the Windows machine, both of these actions work and I can also print.
At the same time, I can also access the Internet and such just fine.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot or fix this ?
Thanks
