Deskjet 2544 wirelessly connects to all PCs on network, except mine.

I am having a great deal of difficulty tracking down a problem with connecting to a new printer we have at home. It was set up correctly to connect to our home router, and it definitely is connected with its own IP address.
All computers and mobile devices have successfully connected to this printer upon installing the drivers, except for one, which is connected to the router via ethernet, runs Windows 7 64bit.
I have tried every diagnostic utility and reinstalled the drivers multiple times to no avail. Windows itself can see the printer fine, but is unable to install it. When I try and add the device via the HP drivers by clicking 'Connect New Printer >> Wireless', instead of checking the network environment and finding the device it immediately moves on to the usb setup screen with the tickbox at the bottom for it already being set up to connect. I try and insist that the device is already connected to the network, which it is, and I then try and input its IP address manually at the next prompt, but the drivers still fail to detect it (even though windows sees the printer when I do 'Add New Printer' via Devices and Printers).
I have checked firewall and antivirus settings, attempting to connect with them both enabled and disabled.
There is something clearly wrong with my computer, as the other PCs on this network can connect just fine. I need some way of completely uninstalling any HP drivers and removing all registry entries correctly, so I can start from scratch again to see if there is some kind of driver corruption on my end. Either that, or I need a list of all the Windows services that are required by the drivers, so that I can check that they are running.
Thank you for any help that you can provide.
For reiteration:
Spec: Windows 7 Home Premium x64
Printer: Deskjet 2544
Connected: Wireless - confirmed
Problem summary: One PC on home network can not connect to printer.

Hi,
My suggestion:
(a) Give it a static IP address (keep the number)
(b) From the computer which is wired connected to router add a printer and use its IP address.
(c) Install software and drivers as required

Deskjet 3050 wireless connection trauma

Hi, my Deskjet 3050 has stopped working over the wireless network and I'm stumped. It was working fine, but has now stopped. My laptop is connected to the home router (BT) and the printer is also connected to the same router (according to the router config page), but I can't connect to print. I've gone back to the beginning and re-installed the printer and all drivers and software, I can print with a USB, I can transfer wireless config details via USB, but I still can't print wirelessly. Help?

Hi PG-PG,
I understand that you are having a problem with getting the printer working on your wireless network. I will try my best to help you resolve this. I suggest power cycling your network.
How to power cycle network
Follow these steps to reset your HP printer, your wireless router, and your computer.
1.Press the Power button on the HP printer to turn it off.
2.Disconnect the power cord from the rear of the HP printer.
3.Disconnect the power cord from the wireless router.
4.Turn off the computer.
5.Wait 30 seconds.
6.Reconnect the power cord to the wireless router.
7.Wait 30 seconds, or until the router is fully on and ready.
8.Turn the computer back on.
9.Wait for the computer to reload.
10.Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the HP printer.
11.Turn the printer back on.
If this does not resolve the issue then I suggest setting a Static IP Address. In this document for Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection has steps for setting that up.
I hope this information helps, please let me know how it goes.
Thank you,
I worked on behalf of HP.

TORCH 9860 FAILED TO CONNECT TO ALL NIGERIA BIS NETWORK AFTER OS UPGRADE

Hello all...............This is a problem which many people are facing in Nigeria and which could negatively affect the fortune of RIM in the country if care is not taken. I did an OS update on desktop manager and since then, i couldnt connect to BIS on any network in Nigeria even though i restore my backup files. The phone works quite well, i could make calls and the network is always 3G but no BIS. I went to the host routing table, and register over and over again to no avail. I took the phone to MTN Nigeria and they couldnt find solution. I downgraded the OS, upgraded it, no BIS. I use BBSAK to wipe the phone and reinstall, no result. The phone is not locked but was bought brand new from a retailing shop called Revive at Ikeja, Lagos Nigeria and they refused to take it back because my warranty of one month has expired (this speaks volume on the type of Blackberry Vendors in Nigeria). I thought if i could get a particular restore called BBservices which was greyed out in my backup maybe i could connect again. This may not be the problem, it may be another and that is why am here begging .......pls help.

Please if you know of any tricks to get the BIS working, kindly inform me as am beginning to get desperate.
As I said, I don't know what tricks may have been done specifically for yours. But the usual tricks are to ensure that the APN/TCP settings are correct for your carrier network, followed by extracting the Service Books from a different BB that is properly functioning on your carriers network and then importing those SBs into your BB. But, again, I have no way to know the proper APN/TCP settings for your carrier, and you'd have to gain access to such another functioning BB in order to obtain their Service Books.
But it would be very strange indeed for this BB to have worked so simply the day you received it...perhaps the shop you bought it from had done the tricks?

I read in several forums that if one is in a fix like this it is most likely that the BB pin and IMEI has been blacklisted by RIM, please is this so?
Again, no one here has any access to anything to answer that question. That again is a question that can only be answered by your carrier and/or BlackBerry. But there is only one channel for you to seek that answer...via your carrier, who can escalate the question up to BlackBerry if they cannot answer it.
Good luck!

Help with HP Deskjet 6500 wireless connection

My HP Deskjet 6500 worked perfectly via my wireless network until I turned off my SSID Broadcast. Now the printer SAYS it is connected to the wireless network, but I cannot print to it. The printer does not even show up as being on the network.
There MUST be a way to configure it to connect to a wireless network witout SSID Broadcast turned on, since nobody who cares about their wireless security would leave their SSID Broadcast on all the time, right?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

First, disabling the SSID broadcast is not a security measure. Freeware from the Internet can still read it. Plus, as you have determined, your printer will not like it at all.

Wireless connections disconnecting wired PCs?

I have a WRT54GS (version 6.)
This is my second one, as my first one went out on me a couple months back. I've got two desktop (wired) PCs, and one laptop. The issue I've been having is that whenever the laptop connects to the wireless (I.E. whenever it's opened,) there's an "IP Collision." Now I use quotes because I've done everything possible to circumvent this. Both wired PCs are manually configured to their own IP / DNS. I noticed that the laptop tends to grab 192.168.0.101 everytime it connects, so I setup desktop #1 to use 192.168.0.103 & desktop #2 to use 192.168.0.104.
It seems impossible that the IPs could collide, considering the laptop only grabs *.101. I even manually setup the laptop so it would grab 192.168.0.101. Still, whenever the laptop connects to the internet, it boots me off my wired PC for a couple moments, disconnecting AIM, file transfers, ICQ, any streaming media, games, whatever.
I've done everything I know how to in my limited networking abilities to fix this, including an extremely frustrating 2 hour call to Linksys. Does anyone have any ideas?

The reason that you are having problems is that you are incorrectly assigning your computers fixed (static) LAN IP addresses. When you assign a fixed address, you must follow the Linksys rules:
With Linksys routers, a fixed (static) LAN IP addresses must be assigned in the device that is using the address. So you need to enter the fixed address in the computer or printer, not in the router.
When using a Linksys router, any fixed LAN IP address must be outside the DHCP server range (typically 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149), and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255.
Therefore any fixed LAN IP address would need to be in the range of
192.168.1.2 thru 192.168.1.99 or
192.168.1.150 thru 192.168.1.254
assuming you have not changed the default DHCP server range

I upgraded Lion recently to 10.7.3. Since that time I am having trouble with my wireless connection. All other devices are fine, but I keep losing the connection since the upgrade.

Recently I upgraded Lion to 10.7.3. Since that time I have been having a lot of trouble with my internet connection. I keep losing the connect and have to go to diagnostics and turn it back on. Is anyone else having this problem?
Thanks, Pat

I'm afraid there are numerous threads on here discussing this problem. I posted in this one earlier that has a couple of suggestions, but the real solution will hopefully be provided in an update from Apple:

Unable to wirelessly connect to a new home network

My problems began because our ISP (Cox Comm.) informed us that our modem was out-of-date and needed to be replaced, so I bought a new modem (Motorola/ARRIS SB6121 DOCSIS 3.0 CABLE MODEM) and a new router (ASUS RT-N66U Gigabit Router Wireless-N900) to boot.
I've been able to connect our iMac & MacBook Air but not our 2 iPads (MC775LL/A & MD417LL/A) and 2 iPhones (Both are (Model # MC924LL/A).
Since they're all older models, we're continuing to use iOS 7.1.1 rather than to upgrade to 7.1.2.
Would it help to connect each wireless device (1 at a time, of course) to the primary computer and then try again?
Once I get those guys up and running, then I can tackle connecting to our TV and DirecTV service. Whew!
I'm not sure which community is the best choice for this issue but the Apple support communities have come to my rescue before, so I'm optimistic someone will help me get through this.
Thanks-
Linda M

Thank you for the reply.
I know that shared libraries an only be accessed on the same network. That's not the problem. The problem is that when a network library is selected in the iPhone, leaving the Wi-Fi network causes the problem that the iPhone library cannot be accessed anymore. I need to reboot the phone to get access again.

"Unable to connect to hidden network" - Losing wireless connection on 1 PC in network - EA4500

We have a two-month old EA4500 router. Over the last couple of days one of our wireless pc's (running Windows 7) has occasionally been losing connection to our wireless network. Troubleshooting indicates that it is "unable to connect to the hidden network (our network name)" Our network should not be hidden, and our 2 other wireless devices are not experiencing this issue. When the disconnect occurs, the only way we are able to reconnect the PC is to disable and reenable the wireless adapter through device manager, or pull the adapter out of the USB and re-insert it. (The USB wireless adapter is also new - only a month old and is also a Linksys ). Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this issue, and what we can try to fix it? It's getting very annoying. Thanks!

There are times that these USB adapters (especially those Wireless Network Adapters) requires more power and they can't draw enough power once plugged in to a USB hub or USB extension cables. Can you try to plug it in directly to a USB port at the back of your computer? So that the adapter would draw enough power from the motherboard.
If everyone needs to believe in something, I believe I'll have another beer..

How do I remove the wireless connection from my Apple TV 2.

I have an Apple TV 2 and I want to sell it. Before selling it, I want to remove my wireless connection which has my home network password from the Apple TV. How do I do it ?
Thanks for helping me.

Put it in DFU and do an update. This will not only update it, but it will remove all settings. DFU = hold menu+play while plugging it in.

New problem with wireless connection since 27th No...

Main desktop computer (windows xp) is connected directly to the internet via ethernet cable to BTHub3. No problem exists with this connection.
We have previously had no problem connecting Tablet, laptop, and internet radio via wireless connection to our Hub. Problems now exist with wireless connection to all of these devices:-
- When attempting to use any of the devices wirelessly, we are unable to obtain a connection to our Network (shown on the list of those available) - indicates - "out of range" or "obtaining IP address" or "authenticating" or "network disabled - poor connection"
- On occasions, the devices DO show that they are connected wirelessly but are unable to access the internet or use any programmes requiring an internet connection. Messages indicate - "no internet connection" or "connection timed out - retry" or "cannot access this webpage", even when we are in the same room as, and only a few feet away from the Hub.
- One anomaly has occurred in that the internet radio did connect and function normally on 2 occasions recently , for a duration of a couple of hours, before loosing the connection. However, during this time, the other devices still refused to connect.
Measures we have undertaken to try to resolve the problem are :-
- We have visited the "Wireless troubleshooting" part of the BT Helpdesk on several occasions, but had already tried the measures suggested here, including changing channels and hub reset.
- We have spoken at length to the BT tech. helpline who have been unable to resolve the problem.
- We have emailed BT Help and received a reply from India suggesting all the things that we have already tried (ie. a "stock answer").
- We are not confident enough to access the Hub Manager as we feel feel this is beyond our capability.
We would be most grateful if someone could help us.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Wingman2, the first thing I would do is uninstall BTDesktop Help if you have it installed. It can cause more problems than it solves.
I would also suggest that the first thing to try is a factory reset of the homehub by pressing a pin into the recess button on the rear for about 20 seconds.
After you have done a reset if you still have problems, download, install and run inSSider. It will show you the wireless channels and which one your Homehub is on. You want to find the channel with the least congestion, ie. least number of users. Once you have that you need to change your homehub onto that channel.
See link for insider. Use the free version.

See link how to change channel on homehub
http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/14094
After that if you are still having problems you could try setting the home hub to b/g only instead of b/g/n. If one of your devices is not "n" capable it could help.

TC & MBP - complete loss of wireless connection and usage

I apologise in advance if this is a very long winded post! I've been an Apple fan for some 20 years now and it's only in the last three months that my love affair is starting to wane due to (what seems to me) poor hardware releases.
My setup:
1 x PowerBook G4 1.25Ghz with Edimax 802.11n PC Card
1 x MBP 2.4Ghz (purchased April 2008) with AirPort 802.11n
1 x Time Capsule 500Gb
1 x Airport Extreme Base Station Gigabit Ethernet edition
1 x Netgear DG384 v2 (wired only) modem router
1 x standard ADSL connection (8Mbps) from a UK ISP (and yes, 8Mb is about the norm for the UK! Though in reality, it means closer to 4Mb...)
The Netgear router is connected to the ADSL line and is set up as the DHCP server for the network. I have a Fixed IP address from my ISP. The Time Capsule is connected via ethernet to the Netgear router. The TC is set up in Bridge mode as the router serves DHCP. The TC is wall mounted via the excellent AirMount from H-Squared.
The TC has been through a myriad of configurations in an attempt to create a stable wireless environment since its purchase in April. Prior to my recent holiday (two weeks in Greece - hurrah!), the current configuration was solid for both Macs.
The config is: Bridge mode; 2.4Ghz N Only wireless; WPA2 secured; no MAC address access control restrictions (so pretty straightforward). The TC is running firmware 7.3.1. It is setup as "Create a Wireless Network"
Both Macs are running OS X 10.5.3 with all of the latest updates including AirPort Utility 5.3.2.
It took me about six weeks to hit upon this config for the TC having had many wireless drop outs, stalled connections, lost internet connections (ie. I could access the TC HDD but could not access the internet using the same wireless connection). So much frustration in the early days - I tried many of the solutions on this forum but to no avail until I hit upon the 2.4Ghz N Only route which seemed to be the answer to all my problems.
Prior to leaving on holiday, I unplugged all of the equipment in the room including the TC and the router. When I returned, I restarted everything in a logical sequence - router first (and waited for a connection), then the TC and then the Macs.
From this point on the problems have started. The PB G4 with the wireless card has a more or less stable connection. The wireless card connects immediately to the TC but then it takes approximately 30-60 seconds for an internet connection to work (so I see a lot of the Not connected to the internet messages in Safari). It seems to immediately get an IP address from the router via the TC but then the internet connection itself takes a while to come up.
The MPB on the other hand is a nightmare. Since returning from holiday I have not been able to get a workable wireless connection at all. In no particular order, the problems that the MBP exhibits are as follows (these can occur at the same time or individually):
i) only returns a self-assigned IP address; renewing the DHCP lease does not fix the problem
ii) does not see the network at all (although it will see others in the vicinity)
iii) cannot connect to the network - returns the Connection Timeout error or very occasionally the Password Incorrect error; I have tried connecting the network via the AirPort menu bar item, via Join another network... from the menu bar, via the Network selection menu in System Preferences > Network and even via Internet Connect - all with no success
iv) sometimes I am able to connect to the network but no IP address is received. Having checked the TC logs, it shows the same error occurring over and over again:
Jun 26 22:06:04 Severity:5 Associated with station 00:1e:c2:ba:78:6c
Jun 26 22:06:07 Severity:5 Deauthenticating with station 00:1e:c2:ba:78:6c (reserved 2).
Jun 26 22:06:07 Severity:5 Disassociated with station 00:1e:c2:ba:78:6c
The MBP connects but is immediately thrown off the network.
So to all intents and purposes, the wireless aspect of the MBP and the TC are completely useless.
When I use a wired (ethernet) connection to the TC everything is joyful. Instant IP address assignment, excellent connection speeds, no drop outs and so on. So as far as I can ascertain, the TC is working fine with the exception of the wireless/wireless security.
The AEBSn that is connected to the same network no longer appears in Airport Utility.
Having read through many posts here, I have tried many solutions including:
- downgrading the FW to 7.3; no difference at all
- turning off wireless security; no difference at all
- changing channels; I've tried 1, 6, 9, 11 and 13 with no difference at all
- changing the wireless mode; B/G, G only, N only all make no difference (I can't use 5Ghz N only as the PB G4 does not support this and I need both Macs wirelessly connected)
- rebooting the TC (both via Airport Utility and 'power off'); makes no difference
- reinstalled OS X 10.5.1 (via the install disks that came with the MBP) using the Archive & Install feature; then used the Combo updater to upgrade directly to 10.5.3; once again, no difference.
I have not yet done a hard reset as this has made no difference in the past but obviously I will try it.
In other words, HELP!
I am stymied. I have tried so many solutions offered on here and on the likes of MacFixIt and other Mac forums none of which have brought back my wireless connection for the MBP.
The MBP works very well with other wireless connection. For example, at work, we have a Linksys WRT54G wireless router connected to a BT leased line. I have not had a single connection issue for three months with this setup. Similarly, whilst on holiday, I used many different hot spots and had no issues with the wireless connection. All of this evidence leads me to suspect that the MBP is not the issue.
From what I can tell, the problem seems to be in the wireless security on the TC. It seems to prevent access by MBP (though not the PB G4 using a wireless card) but disabling security did not change the error messages shown in the log or the lack of connectivity.
It is a real shame that I cannot get a satisfactory working environment with the TC as the concept is great. The reality is, however, that it is unusable in its current condition and loathe as I am to try and return it or replace it, I am rapidly coming the conclusion I will have to.
Before I do, however, I am hoping that the genii who exist on these forums may be able to proffer some ideas or solutions that I haven't yet tried.
My sincere thanks will go to anyone who provides a solution for me. There may even be beer involved as a mark of gratitude!!
Thanks for reading and fingers crossed someone knows something special...

Smokerz: thanks for the reply and the advice. Not really in a position to set up a dual network at the moment due to the positioning of the TC and the AEBS but if I get an opportunity to try it I will.
I have temporarily given up with the TC as the router for the wireless network. I've installed a Vigor 2820n modem router (it's the only one I could find that has a Gigabit port - only one though) as well being a modem (ADSL) router. Thus far, everything seems fine - although I have had a couple of drop outs due (I think) the AirPort connection on the MBP. And interestingly, I've set up the TC as a "test" wireless network using the Vigor's internet connection and it's way more stable than with the Netgear router. So perhaps it's a combination of many factors - the poor Netgear router, the TC and the MBP AirPort connection - that was causing the issues.
I'll give 10.5.4 a go as well and see if that helps at all.
Thanks to all who read the question - if anyone else has thoughts I'd be delighted to hear them.

My computer keeps losing its wireless connection

I have a second gen Airport Express connected to a DSL modem; my main computer is a Mini, late 2012 model, running Mountain Lion on 8 gb ram. On this network, I normally also connect a MacBook running Leopard, and iPad and an iPhone.
The Apple Airport Express model is not the newest, it is A1264 54 Mbps Wireless N Router (MB321LL/A). I've been using it about 2 ½ years without problems.
Just recently, however, my Mini has stopped holding on to the connection. At first, I figured it was a network issue, but I've done' some trouble shooting and find that is not the case. The network is fine when I plug ethernet direct from the modem into my computer, and I have even gone so far as to set my computer up as the wireless point of connection for the other devices, and the connection speed makes me think that the wireless card in the computer is operating just fine.
When the Airport is the wireless connection point, all the other devices have no problems, but the Mini is just awful; I have found after considerable frustration that when a page fails to load or another call to the network fails to execute, I can mouse-click the wireless symbol on the menu bar and see that the Wi-Fi is "looking for Networks," and after a brief pause with the spinning wheel animation, it finds my network in the list and turns itself on.
Forgive me, but WTH? I suspect this is something fairly simple, a setting, but what? I was all set to buy a new Airport Express, but I really don't want to if this is something fixable.
Does anyone know what's going on here?
I can tell you that the modem is set to "bridge" mode. After 10 years, the modem was replaced about a year ago, but I've had this setup for about 11 years, DSL in to a DSL modem to wireless router (always the original Apple Airport Base Station or an Airport Express, I've cooked a couple over the years).

Thanks, that may put me closer to a fix, but I'm not there yet.
I'm not sure I made it clear, what's happening is the WiFi grip on the internet hangs and then drops. I have learned that when the browser progress bar halts or a podcast download slows to a crawl, I can click the WiFi icon on the top menu and it will sometimes goose the network back to a secure connection and the task will complete; other times it drops entirely, forcing me to restart everything.
I have now ordered a new Airport Express, but won't have it until the week-end. I will then have 3 months of phone support. I was shocked to find Apple has raised the price for phone support, and while I did get a little free help yesterday, all the woman really did was get me to buy new stuff. I can't afford this. And I will bet that the new router will not solve the problem.
I am trying to use the Wireless Diagnostics app to get some idea of what is causing the connection to hang and fail. The Apple support person did not suggest this, but I am using the utilities feature to actually watch the connection struggle and then drop; I then generate a WiFi report and try to see what was happening when the failure occurred.
Sometimes these drops are temporary, and sometimes they require a modem and router re-start.
The problem is, I have no idea what these reports mean. I have tried to read the instructions, and I'm not doing very well at that. AFAICT, there is no problem with any of my settings. Other devices on the network do not lose connection the way the mini does. I don't use any location settings. so that's not applicable. I have gone over the "best practices" list and think I'm in compliance with all the recommendations. It seems odd to me that the Apple page [About Wireless Diagnostics - Apple Support] tells the user what's in the diagnostics report, but does not mention what to do with the information, how to understand it or use it. I have been watching the performance graph, and sure enough, when the connection fails, the graph reflects the failure. It operates in the excellent range most of the time, or slips into the "good" range, but I have not seen it in the poor range, it just drops. Then the Airport Untility shows the router with a yellow triangle sign with an exclamation point in the middle.
I can post the WiFi logs if anyone can understand them.

Wireless connections get very slow

Hi, I'm having a nightmare lately with my wireless connections, it's not the network I'm connecting to as I've checked that with other machines, it's a problem with the wireless card in my machine.
For a while it works OK, then it just slows right down, the only way to get it back upto speed is by rebooting. Anyone know of a solution?

Not sure if this will help but I was experiencing a similar issue (at least the symptoms) on my MacBook. Got a new router and setup it up as the previous one was (same SSID, WEP key, etc). For some reason the MacBook did not like the WEP implementation on this router and it would get slower and slower until no more network access. Rebooting would fix.
As soon as I changed the router to use WPA2 (or something like that) the issues were gone. Now it just works.
Note that from all other machines, NO issues were happening. Just on the MacBook.
After changing the encryption to use the newer thing, all is good now.
I would try changing that and/or playing with settings like channel, etc.

T61: no detection of wireless connection

Dear Experts,
I am a 0% technical person. I am using my T61 bought in year 2007 after a few months. And for some reason it is not detecting any wireless connection even though I am able to detect the wireless connection on all my other devices.
On the wireless radio page it shows 802.11 and i have ensured that this is on and the wireless symbol as seen below my laptop screen is lighted.
Please advise me. In case you require any additional information, please let me know. You may also have to provide me instruction on where will I find the information requested.
Also, my laptop's key configuration is as below:
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T7300 @2.00GHz
RAM of 2GB
System time: 32-bit
Do you think it is a good idea to upgrade the OS? If yes, please also advise on the steps to upgrade the OS.
Many thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Bakul

I am just piling on to this last message-I don't have a successful connection. I was able to get a green light on the airport express unit by first doing a wired set up to my verizon fios modem- as I did setting up with wireless printers. But the airport utility does not find it. It did find it once - and the itunes speaker icon lit up - but then it couldn't find the boze and - even after complete restart - it can't find the AE. I suspected it was a problem with the WEP encryption on my FIOS modem - but since the light is green I'm assuming it has the correct network settings. It's just not recognized by my Imac. I just want to install it on my existing network to output itunes to the Boze speakers in another part of the house. Note - I've been configuring this right next to the modem and wireless distance is not an issue.

I set up Airport wireless, but I miss something my network can not be found and I need connect manually every time with my ipod?

I have problems finding my connection, I configured the Airport Express Internet is ok the light is green, but always need to connect manually , when I look for my network never show??What I need change ????

Modem -> Router -> Airport -> Wireless DHCP
                  |
                  |
                 V
            Work PC's Static Ip's
It would be a requirement that the wireless connections were on a seperate network that could not see any of the work PC's
Everything depends on the router ..
If the router offers vlan.. then you can set the airport to a different vlan than the Work computers and it will work fine.. But your setup currently is such that wireless clients behind the airport even if they get a different IP address range would still be able to access the work PC's.
Another possible method is to use secondary IP address in the router.. this is same idea as vlan really but some routers offer IP alias.. or secondary IP.. it has a number of names.. This would not fully protect the computers on the main IP address range but via firewall in the computers will effectively do so. It would be important to make sure the local firewall is setup and running.

Deskjet 2544 wirelessly connects to all PCs on network, except mine.
