Photosmart C7180 says it is connected to network, but installer does not find

BACKGROUND:
Primary Computer
I have a mac-mini running both the latest Snow leopard build, as well as Win 7 Pro ver 6.1 build 7600 (64-bit). When I first got the computer, OSX ran through its initial setup. I then downloaded and installed the HP software for the printer for the mac and everything including wireless network scanning worked beautifully.
I then installed Win 7 using a bootcamp partition and went through the same thing, including installing the 64-bit version of the HP software. All worked great as with the OSX partition - for 2-3 weeks.
Network:
Belkin F5D7231-4 v4000 router running WPA2 with AES encryption. I also use MAC address filtering.
PROBLEM:
As mentioned before, all worked great for 2-3 weeks until...
To try and install a blu-ray, I was going to use a spare router as a wireless access point/bridge. I installed new firmware for my Belkin router as advised by belkin tech support. As a result my router lost all original settings. I entered in all MAC addresses for equipment I use and enabled them to have access to the network.
After several unsuccessful attempts to print again. I checked my printer status screen and it indicated that it was successfully connected to my wireless network. Tried restoring the printer to original network settings and reestablishing the network connection. The printer display says it successfully connected after I entered my network password/passkey into the printer, but still no printer shows up on the computer when I tried to install. I removed all drivers and software, using the uninstall utility as well as the driver removal tool on the HP website. I tried reinstalling the printer, but it never showed up as connected by the software for wireless installation. I uninstalled everything again and , based on suggestions, tried installing the printer over a USB connection first, then installing wirelessly. Still no success.
I have checked my router settings (including refreshing DHCP settings) to make sure that the printer shows up on my router. It does indeed show up as connected to the router. However, the HP network diagnostic utility for some reason cannot find my printer. I checked the wireless network summary on the printer display and it shows the same IP address for the printer as shown in my router setup utility (192.168.2.9).
I would like to get it going in the Win 7 partition first, then I can address the OSX side.
Does anyone have any clues or suggestions? Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I should add that I disabled the windows firewall and the antivirus program I run while installing/uninstalling.

Well, I see a few things that can be in the way:
1. MAC address filtering is really not a security measure since the MAC addresses are sent in the clear (unencrypted) and many devices can have their MAC addresses changed easily with software. I'd recommend losing the MAC filtering and just use WPA2 and be even more secure than you are currently.
2. If you disabled the firewalls during the install, that may have been a bad thing. The installer is supposed to create ports through the firewalls during install, so if they are disabled and later enabled, the ports are not there.
3. Does your printer show up if you type its IP into a browser?

My computer says it is connected to internet but it does not load the webpage

my computer says it is connected to the internet, full bars but it does not load the webpage when i click on safari

If you are connected wirelessly it is possible to have full bars, but your wireless router connection to the Internet could be the problem. Try restart your router.

Comcast just replaced my cable modem/wireless router. All devices connect properly except my iPhone 4. It shows itself to be connected to the network, but it does not load any web page. Resetting the iPhone does not solve the problem. Any suggestions?

Thank you for your response.
I had rebooted the router (several times, actually), to no avail.
I do not know the answer to whether MAC filtering is enabled on the router. Have tried to find info about that, but unsuccessfully. Router is an Arris TG852G, supplied by Comcast. I would be surprised if MAC filtering were the issue, since in addition to the computer, we have successfully connected several other devices to the wifi, namely an iPad, a Android phone and a Kindle Fire - all able to access internet pages through the wifi, and all without a need to add the device to a MAC address whitelist. To add to the mystery, the Comcast tech was able to connect his iPhone 4 to my network and access web pages. He was unable to connect my iPhone, however, after trying for some time.
I seem to recall reading somewhere that an iPhone cannot connect to a wireless "n" router, only "b" or "g". The Arris router is described as a n/g/b compliant router, and as noted the Comcast tech was able to connect his iPhone, so don't know why that would be the issue here.
By the way, my iPhone does connect wirelessly to my network at home. This difficulty is at a second home.
Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

I'm trying to extend the range of an Airport Extreme 802.11g by adding an Airport Express 802.11n. I set the Express up to join the existing network, but it does not make any difference in the range of the network. What's wrong?

Let me see if I can help you with the basic WDS configuration steps:
Note: To help facilitate the setup, temporarily connect the AXn directly to the AEBS LAN port using an Ethernet cable. Once the setup is complete, you can move the AXn to the desired location. For all configuration steps you will be using the AirPort Utility. Before starting, be sure to jot down the AppleIDs for both base stations.
802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) Configuration
AirPort Utility > Select the AEBS > Manual Setup > Wireless tab
Wireless Mode: Participate in a WDS network
Manual Setup > WDS tab
WDS Mode: WDS main
Allow wireless clients (checked)
WDS Remotes: <enter the AppleID for the AXn here>
Click on Update and allow the base station to restart.

TS1702 When I try to update an App I am getting my old email address (which no longer works) and when I put in its password it says password or username is wrong. but it does not give me an option to put in my new user name. How can I correct this.

What you are getting is the AppleID (AppleID can be an email adress) used at the time of the purchase of this app. It is an identifiant allowing Apple to link your purchase to your account.
If you want to manage associated email, you can go at https://appleid.apple.com but the AppleID could never be modified.
I do not know if in your case, it is just that you no longer use your old email address or that you actually a 2 AppleID. In any case, you will have to remember the password related to the account used for your purchase. If you don't, just use the link above to try to retreive your password.

If you can't enter the passcode then you have to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod via iTunes. For ecovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
Note that this requires using the sleep/wake button. If you are not successful then there is nothing else that I know you can do.

I have an apple trackpad that shows that it is connected to Bluetooth but it does not respond. I have tried restarting the computer and turning the trackpad off and on but it will not work. Anyone have any ideas on what is going on here?

I have an Apple Trackpad that shows that it is connected with Bluetooth but it is not responding. I've tried restarting the computer, disconnecting and reconnecting and also turning the trackpad on and off but it simply does not respond. Does anyone have any idea on what is going on here?

There are reports of similar behavour but generally it is due to battery connections. Is the indicator light working steadily or does it blink or even not function. Here is the Apple document dealing with some of the problems.

Airport Extreme-Airport Utility SAYS I'm connected to internet but I'm not

Have several apple computers connected via ethernet to ATT DSL; was using a Netgear router...but it was SLOW SLOW SLOW to open new internet pages: trouble shooting with AT&T proved that when I hooked my computer direct to modem, internet speed was FAST; so problem was Netgear router.
So I hopped to Apple store and bought Airport Extreme. Completed setup per instructions...Network preferences says I am connected to the internet, the Airport Utility says I am hooked up to the internet; proper lights are ON for both the modem and Airport Extreme unit, yet when I click on Safari it says I am NOT connected to the internet....ummmmm...I have no idea what to try next...any ideas, please????

I realize that I made a slight error in my initial description; all the computers are attached to a switch, which is in turn attached to the Airport Extreme which is in turn attached to the modem.
Thanks for your speedy reply!!! My husband says we are not using a PPPoE connection, but rather a DHPC connection, so the PPPoE senario doesn't apply.
Any other ideas????
Thanks, Barb

Says I'm Connected to Internet, but I'm not..

I've just connected to Optusnet (ISP) yesterday and when connected to built in ethernet everything works fine.
When I connect it to the Airport Express, I get a green light, 4 bars, it even says I'm connected to the internet, but when I open safari or try to download anything it says I'm not connected to server. I've reset the airport, I've done all sorts but it hasn't worked.
I'm sure this means it has something to with the DSL modem (Siemens 4200), but if anyone can help I would be trully grateful.

Does your DSL ISP require PPPoE for connectivity? If it does have you set up your AX properly for a PPPoE connection?
For example...
AirPort Express Base Station Setup (AX) w/DSL Modem
Using the AirPort Admin Utility, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
AirPort tab
- Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
- AirPort Network Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
- Create a closed network (unchecked)
- Wireless Security: Not enabled
- Channel: Automatic
- Mode: 802.11b/g Compatible
Internet tab
- Connect Using: PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
- Account Name: <ISP account name>
- Change password: <ISP password>
- Always stay connected (checked)
- WAN Ethernet Port: Automatic
Network tab
- Distribute IP addresses (checked)
- Share a single IP address (using DHCP & NAT) (enabled)

It says I'm Connected to Router but I'm Not

this afternoon i'm having problems accessing the internet on my MBP 10.5.4. i don't think the problem is with my router because my old PB G4 10.3.9 has been working fine on the network all day (at the same time as the MBP is down).
my internet access keeps dropping. pages not loading, mail not connecting etc. but the airport icon says i'm still connected to my router and everything looks ok in the network prefs. sometimes if i turn airport off and back on it works for a minute before dropping again.
i've tried resetting PRAM, repaired permissions, deleted all airport/internet keychains, removed all locations and airport passwords and started again but it hasn't improved things. when i started up in safe mode for a half hour or so the connection seemed fine and didn't drop, now i'm back with a regular startup i'm having the problem again. everything has worked fine for months before this.
one time the connection dropped while i was doing a traceroute and it said "Host is down" after turning airport off and on again it continued ok.
in case it matters, i have a sky broadband connection and a sky / sagem F@ST2504 router.
what can i do ?
thanks !

And you cannot connect computer to computer AND run wireless internet access at the same time, although you may run the internet THROUGH another computer. (computer 1 connected wirelessly and receiving internet / computer 2 connects to computer 1 and picks up internet through it).
This has never been a problem, unless i'm misunderstanding you - i have been able to connect to my old PB over the network wirelessly (through "shared" in a finder window) and have both computers independently using the internet through the wireless router.
As your connection drops at the same time as the internet, could it even be that the airport card (inside) is faulty?
it wouldn't surprise me as the disk drive has been faulty on this MBP since i bought it, but i think today's network problem is more likely some kind of conflict or preference problem as it is working fine continuously following a safe boot & only occurring during a normal boot.
i've tried various channels on the router and at the moment have ended up back at "auto".
thanks for all your ideas alexandre. hopefully someone else will chip in if i've exhausted you !

Iphone 4S says I'm connected to internet, but I am not
