Xbox Wireless Adapter - IP Changes

I was successfully using the Xbox wireless adapter (mn-740) to network a
laser printer. For whatever reason it stopped. According to my router the
address is 192.**.1.7, and the mac address matches. I can ping and get a
response. The problem is I manually configured the adater with a different
address, which, when I go to the Xbox network setup, still shows the address
I configured, not the one the router reports back. I have reset the router,
the modem, the adapter and the odd thing is after I reset the Xbox adapter,
it still shows the IP I configured, not the factory default. Am I missing
something, or is this screwed up somewhere down the line?

Thanks

 

Well first off I'm betting you IP address is 192.168.1.7 as 192.168.*.*
is the class c Private IP Address (AKA NAT). The router might be
reporting the IP address it assigned before you configured the MN-740 to
be static.

We need more information about your network. The following would be
helpful otherwise I be pulling out random ideas that could actually make
things worse.

What router & firmware version are you running?

What print server & firmware are you running?

Have you tried temporally connecting the printer via a wired connection
since the problem started?

Have you tried connecting the MN-740 to something other then that printer?

What do you mean by saying "it stopped"?

Did you know that the MN-740 gets an IP address while the device it is
connected to also gets an IP address which has to be different from the
one the MN-740 has?

Ok I'm out of questions for now. The more you answer the better we can
help you. Remember there is no point in hiding a private IP address in
a forum on the Internet as we'd need the public IP address to do
anything so what's the point.
