6500WL - No connection Error - After trying to scan

Question

Today I installed a new HP 6500WL
I did the following things:
. Plugged it to the network (wired)
. Configured Static IP.
. Checked everything from the internal webserver.
. Fax test
. Print test.
. Scan test (from remote pc)
When I try to do a scan directly from the printer using the scan now button I must chose to which PC. I select the PC and the click Ok. The scanner says scanning. After a few seconds I get the error "No connection" and the scan fails.
Then I try again to do the scan and then another error occurs "No scan options".
It seems that after the "No connection" error the Scan Opction (Scan - DOC, Scan, JPEG, Email-JPEG) are deleted from the printer.
Using the solution center I can add those options again to the front panel but I still can't scan from the printer.
I'm running Windows XP Home with the drivers provided in the CD.
I checked firewall logs if there were any blocked actions but there weren't.

Let's set a static IP address in this way
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you know what that is, set an IP outside that range but no higher than 254 (the last number in the address). If you do not know this, enter the current IP address.
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Leave the gateway and DNS blank. Click 'Apply'
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.
