Hi guys,
I should already know this. I really should. I went to school for exactly this sort of felgercarb.
The problem is (and there's no guarantee this laundry list is set up in any particular logical order):
* Canon MG2500 is setup with a static IP on the wifi network. Is talking properly with the local access point. IP address for the printer has been set to 192.168.1.9, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.224 (I only have, and expect to have a handful of devices on this network, so I deliberately set a tight subnet for this network). Local access point has a MAC address reservation for this printer and CAN ping said printer locally.
* Neither the laptop, nor my PC connected to the access point can resolve the printer's IP. Neither devices can see the printer. Neither devices can ping each other.
* Both laptop and PC are running Windows 7, can ping the gateway, can ping localhost, and the Canon drivers are up to date. The entire setup was working just last week, and apparently decided to stop working the week I needed to print my W2's for tax time.
A google crawl has been . . . interesting, but ultimately unhelpful yet. Besides . . . I know you people.
So! Any ideas on anything I missed describing this problem?
