Replaced old router, now cannot automatically find printers on network?

Recently replaced old Belkin router w/new Linksys BEFSR41 router. Internet access on all computers is normal. However, the computers on my home network (all Macs both wired and wireless) can no longer print to either of the printers on the network unless we address them with specific IP addresses. The printer drivers are up to date. All connections to the router are correct and the cables are tested and working properly. When printing, the printer window shows an endless search "looking for printer..." Additionally, with file sharing enabled on all computers, I am no longer able to "see" the computers on the network. I am certain the issue is some setting in the router I have failed to adjust. Can someone help me!

I have done the powering down and sequential restart of all components with no solution in sight yet. The network has the following components: Motorola cable modem connected to the Linksys router w/4 ports which has connected to it the following components: an Airport Extreme set to NOT distribute IP addresses but allows the router to do so automatically; Mac Pro; G4 Tower; Linksys Switch via uplink cable to which are attached the two printers (OKIDATA and HP). By the way, eliminating the Switch by connecting the OKIDATA directly to the router did NOT solve the problem, even with power downs and power ups. Thanks

  • Replace old router with WRT110 and now I can not see shared printer on network

    Replaced a BEFW11S4 with a WRT110. Now I can not see a shared printer on the network any more. I have not changed anything on the computer that has the printer shared. I can see the internet on all the computers, but not the shared printer. can you help?

    First which you need to check, is your printer is working Offline on your computer. In this case you need to Re-map your Printer on your Computers back again. First check if you have any Firewall or Antivurs Installed on your computer try to disable it and check if you are able to print from your computer. If not then try to Remap the printer on your computer.
    Go to Network connections window and if you are able to see your computer name on which the printer is installed, then right click on the Printer and click on "Connect" or "MAP" once done you will be able to print from your computer. 
    Note down the IP address of the Computer on which you have Installed the Printer. (Click on Start - Run - CMD and click Ok, now in the command prompt type "ipconfig" and note down the Ip address, Then go to your other computer and Click on Start - Run - CMD and click Ok and now in the Command prompt type "ping (IP address of your main computer) and hit enter and check if you are getting any replies. If yes, then again click on "Start - Run - type ( \\ip address of your main computer) and click Ok, and now you will be able to see your printer name then right click on it and click on "Connect" or Map, once done, now check if you are able to print from your computer. 

  • Downloaded new version, replaced old version, now says no space available and won't launch. I need to know how to get old version back

    Usually if I try to download something that is too big a message comes up saying that there's not enough space. This didn't happen when I tried to download the latest version of Foxfire. It asked if I wanted to replace the old version and I did. When it was done, it said 0 bytes available. The icon came up with a circle with a line through it. I get a message that says it cannot be launched. If I go into my finder and click on it it says it is not supported. I need to know if I can get the old version back because I've lost all my bookmarks etc. Unless there is something else I cn do to get it working.

    If you tried to install Firefox 4, it will not run on OS X 10.4 or PPC Macs.
    There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

  • I have replaced my router and cannot connect the airport

  • Lightroom 1.2 mac cannot automatically find catalogue

    I recently updated my Mac copy of Lightroom to 1.2, and it has developed an annoying problem: Upon opening, the program no longer can find the catalogue, even if it appears to be in the correct location.
    I can force the computer to open the database.lrcat file, and it appears that no data is lost relative to the last time the program closed. However, I have to manually make it open the database file (and not the catalogue) file in order to get it to work. Lightroom now by default opens with 0 pictures (When I have some 12k+).
    (I have also found notable performance issues with 1.2 that did not exist with 1.1)
    Is this problem generic, or specific? I doubt that it is hardware driven, but could it be? Could it be a problem with the catalogue file? A problem with the software?
    I would like to avoid retreating to a backup catalogue, if possible.
    Does anyone have any advice/know of a fix?
    Cheers
    Andy

    This recently happened to me and I don't have any reason why. Lightroom would forget where my main catalog was every time on restart.
    The fix:
    Hold down the Option key and launch Lightroom.
    A "Select Catalog" window will display.
    Navigate to the your catalog and choose it.
    Check "Always load this catalog on startup"
    Click "Select"...you are done.

  • Does Tiger require ownership (and sharing) of wired printers on a wireless LAN? My G4 (Tiger) is also wired to the LAN, and can access all wired printers through the router. Wireless Macs cannot even find the printers.

    Does Tiger require ownership (and sharing) of wired printers on a wireless LAN? My G4 (Tiger) and all printers are wired to the LAN, and the G4 can access all printers through the router. Additional wireless Macs (Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion) cannot even find the printers. Yet, if the G4 shares the printers, then ALL computers on the LAN can access them. However, this requires the G4 to remain powered. Is there a workaround that would allow me to shut down the G4 and still use the printers?

    Hello BDAqua!
    Well, I am halfway there. Following your steps on the Snow Leopard MBP, the newer printer (a Canon MX860 inkjet) appeared automatically under the "default" icon on the ADD printer window. I used the IP icon with the HP Jetdirect-Socket protocol to find and add the older printer, (an HP 4000N). That required running a configuration page from the printer to locate its IP address. I printed to both printers through this laptop with success!
    I then followed exactly the same procedure with the Mountain Lion MBP. For both installation attempts, I got an error message window: Unable to verify the printer on your network. "192.168.111" may not exist or is unavailable at this time. Would you still like to create the printer? If I click Continue, it creates the icon and name in the printer list. However when I attempt to print from an app. the next message says, 'Printer is unavailable.'
    Why one laptop finds and uses both printers, and the newer laptop does not, just floors me!
    Thank you for your ongoing assistance.

  • Purchased songs in the past then recently purchasd new songs,  but the new purchases replaced all of my old purchases.  How can I retrieve my old purchases?  Cannot find them in any of my playlists.

    Purchased songs in the past then recently purchasd new songs,  but the new purchases replaced all of my old purchases.  How can I retrieve my old purchases?  Cannot find them in any of my playlists.

    If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
    1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
    2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
    3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.

  • I replaced my old router with a new one, then tried the old one again, now the old one doesn't work.

    I've had my old router (i'll call it router 1) for about two years now. I felt like changing it, so I got router 2. When I took the cables from router 1 and put it into router 2, the new router worked instantly. But when I tried switching routers again (I was curious), the router 1 no longer worked. Why is that?
    When I plug router 2 back in it works fine but now if I try to use router 1 it doesn't work...

    sort of. I had router two on for a couple hours then I turned it off and plugged in router 1. DIdn't work so I switched back to router 2 and then router 2 worked instantly

  • K7N2 Delta2 :: Onboard NIC Once Flawless, Now cannot find Network

    Hello, and thank you for reading my Support Query!
    Heres the Deal. For the past Couple of Months, I've had little to no problems with my K7N2D2. Everything worked to my expectations.
    Until Last Night, was online, and downloading some Bittorrent Files when all my connections suddenly drop'd from Maximum to Nothing.
    First Thought : ADSL Dropped or Router Stalled...  So, I Restart ze Modem, Restart the Hub. All their Flashes go Normally, and I wait a few moments for everything to Synch Up. Then Tried refreshing google.com .. to No Avail, its -instantly- reporting it cannot find the address, yadda yadda.
    2nd Thought : Oh, maybe Verizon's Service was interrupted... But No, I walk into the other room, where my Bro's Comp is at, and the Net is Fully Functional and Online. [ He also has a K7N2-D2 MB.. The Comp which im typing at right now]
    Weirdness : I Cannot Connect to the Routers IP Address. I Cannot even Connect to any other the computers on the Network. [ This all Used to Work Perfectly, Small Home Network of 3 Comps, With Lots of Read Only Shared Folders, for Music / Movies ]
    Continued Wierdness : Everything in the Device Manager seems to Say everything is in perfect working Order, and I Can Ping Local Address [ 127.0.0.1 ] With No Problem. I Tried Pinging the Router, but it couldnt find Destination?
    ipconfig/all  Reports that, DHCP is Enabled, AutoConfig is Enabled, but it cant find the Gateway or DHCP Server.
    What is going on? Did I Fry the NIC with too Many Torrents?
    I Tried Hooking up a Old D-Link NIC Card I've had around for awhile, Not Sure why but it didnt want to Work.. Maybe cuzz its been sitting in storage for years.
    Help is greatly appreciated, Is there anyway I Can run a diagnostic on the Onboard NIC? Yarr.

    Hi all.
    I'm new here, but have to write, coz I have exactly the same problem, like Nookovski.
    I'm using my K7N2 D2platinum for more than 1 years, without any problem, using the onboard LAN for internet (connected to ADSL cable modem), and another Ethernet card for internal LAN.
    2 days ago, I was playing network game with friends, when suddenly my connection was lost. I tried to reach homepages, but no avail. Try to ping some common addresses, nothing happens, 100% lost.
    I rebooted, and saw, that my ip address for netconnection changed to 163... etc. This is weird, coz originally my ISP always give some 80... etc from DHCP.
    I tried renew my ip, no success.
    Called my ISP, they said, they can see my modem, but can't see my PC. I have to plug the cable to my another ethernet card for a moment - I did it, and they saw my pc in this case. They adviced to reinstall my onboard NIC driver. OK, perhaps later.
    After all, I found an old Ethernet card (Realtek family) in my case, so I installed it. After a quick reboot my netconnection was fine through this new card. So no network problem on ISP side, there is something with my onboard LAN.
    I tried to uninstall / remove the driver from hardware settings panel, but the window freezes. If I reboot in safe mode, and try to remove again, windows says : cannot remove, device is needed for operation. (or smth like this)
    I tried reinstall LAN components from the latest MSI driverset, but nothing changed. I think it cannot overwrite the old (damaged?) files.
    Now I'm using 2 PCI eth.card, one to connect with another PC, and one for internet. I disabled the onboard LAN from bios. But this is annoying, I don't understand  what happend from one minute to another, and I would like to use my integrated NIC! 
    I found some posts here, advising to set the MAC address in bios manually, regarding to a sticker on the mobo, but I don't have such an option in BIOS.
    What should I do now? Are there any solution?
    Thanx!

  • I had to reset Firefox and now cannot find the calendar, how do I get it back?

    I was removing files associated with web.longfintuna.com from my PC. I then reset Firefox. When I open Firefox, all my email, bookmarks.etc. are there. However I cannot find the calendar. I had it before and now cannot locate it.

    When you reset Firefox then a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, form data) is automatically imported and the current profile folder will be moved to the desktop (Old Firefox Data).
    You will lose extensions and other customizations (toolbars, prefs) that you've made.
    It is possible to recover more data from the old profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem.

  • Got new router, now I can't find my HP LJ5000 on my wireless network

    I recently had FIOS internet installed at my house, it came with a new wireless router which replaced my old one. Since then I have not been able to find my HP Laserjet 5000 over the wireless network. The "add printer" function does not even see it. (It worked fine with my old router, a Belkin.) All other aspects of my network work, including other wireless functions. The HP LJ5000 still works with another Mac that is connected to the router with an ethernet cable.
    At first I thought this was because my laptop was an older iBook running Panther, and was not smart enough for the FIOS router. But now I have a brand new Macbook running Leopard, and the problem is the same, i.e. the network works great except I can't see the HP LJ5000 wirelessly.

    I just found a workaround to my own problem. I created the connection between my laptops and the printer using "IP Printing" instead of "Appletalk." I typed in the exact IP address of my printer and it works now. I think my router assigns IP addresses dynamically, so I may have to redo this every time my printer gets a new IP address, but at least I know how to make it work.
