Thanks for posting retrogame, really appreciate your assistance.
Based on this Coppercable, lets give it a go. Generally we don't provide technical support for networking, however I'd be happy to get this problem sorted.
Steps:
- We need to know the 'port' assigned to your printer. Could be 80, could be 1024. (See step 7)
- You need to know how to access the advanced settings for your printer. From what I can tell, once your printer is assigned an I.P, you can access the printer settings by entering 192.168.0.?? (? = assigned address) into your browser (as if you're accessing your modem).
- In the printer settings change the IP settings to Static, not dynamic.
- Assign an IP to your printer, it needs to be suitable. Something like 192.168.0.?? (don't assign 1, it could be the total number of computers in your network i.e 15). Please research network security & keep this in mind.
- Then you'll need to access the port fowarding settings on your router, to add the printer.
- Enter 192.168.0.1 into your browser > hit Advanced Settings > Advanced Set-up > NAT > Port Triggering.
- Add new > Enter the IP address assigned to your printer > Enter the port your printer uses > Select 'auto or both' next to 'UDP' or 'TCP'.
Good luck, let me know how it goes.
