Wireless bridge and printing woes

Featured Replies

Using Orange's Livebox and Netgear WGPS606 bridge/router so I can have net access to the desktop upstairs. My Printer is connected to the bridge, upstairs via ethernet.

Livebox IP 192.168.1.1

DCHP range 192.168.1.9 - 192.168.1.99

WGPS606 IP 192.168.111

HP 2575 IP 192.168.105

Subnet 255.255.255.0

Default gateway 192.168.1.1

Now, the desktop (XP) can access the net fine, and see the printer connected to the WGPS606 router next to it.

However my wireless machine (Vista ultimate) cannot see the printer. I've tried putting the printer before the DCHP range, after, even in range. Tried using the bridges IP as the default gateway.

Connect via cat5 to the bridge, print fine.

Now I can see the bridge wirelessly and see it's webpage using the IP. If the XP machine has connected to the vista machine, I can see that too.

Anyone any ideas on getting the printer to be found? I had pains using USB, so want to stick to ethernet connections to the WGPS606 if poss.
