Motorola Print Server Problem

snipped-for-privacy@lycos.com, the seller of dead eels, pattered:

Where, in any of the group names that you have posted to, is "motorola setup process" implied, you shitwitted fuckwad?

It may be a stretch of imagination for some people but it IS a wireless issue and it was my hope that there may be others with experience on Motorola components who've 'been there, done that'. Clearly not yourself but thanks for the thoughtful reply, just the same.

I was going to post help earlier but I waited to see if someone more qualified had the answer. I use a Linksys wireless printer devise. Did yours come with a quickstart guide? Did it come with a disk?

snipped-for-privacy@lycos.com hath wroth:

If you search alt.internet.wireless for "WPS870g", you'll find that WPA-PSK on the WPS870g doesn't work. |

works but I do NOT suggest you downgrade to WEP encryption on your wireless network just to get this print server to function.

Are you using the latest firmware (version 1.10)??? |

That has NOTHING to do with "finding" the network. The print server wireless client has to connect to your unspecified wireless access point or router, and is failing to connect. No amount of tinkering with Windoze Shares is going to make that happen. I'm not sure if sharing is required but if you need instructions, see: |

Try disabling encryption temporarily on your wireless router or access point and see if it functions. Then call Motorola back and ask them why WPA doesn't work.

Yes it did and I've been through the quick start guide and even on the phone with tech support (after numerous emails). All the guy could tell me was that if my print & file sharing in XP were turned on, it should work. I went through some similar pains when setting up my network where their tech support is concerned. With Motorola, you seem to kind of be on your own but once you have it up and running, it's pretty reliable and bulletproof. Bought the print server thinking that perhaps things might have changed (AND the fact that I'd hoped for a flawless interface with my other components), but the saga goes on...

snipped-for-privacy@lycos.com, the dosshouse cook, sighed:

Well, if you're so f****ng confident, fix it, you brain-dead bonehead.

Have you checked to see if it is a firewall issue?

Very informative - thank you sir... Looks like the print server might be going back if it comes to dropping security to make it work. thanks again, very much...
