[X4U] problem with printing

[Allan Rube]

Thanks again Neil. I have the ip address a mac config number from the 
printer's status page. I go to the Actiontec page. However, I do not 
know how to get to the DHCP configuration page. I have 6 choices - main, 
wireless settings, my network, firewall settings, parental control, 
advanced, and system monitoring. Under each are submenus that do not 
seem helpful. Do you know where the DHCP configuration page might be?

My router is a mi424-wr rev d. It is similar to what verizon uses but 
they have higher revision letters and I wonder if what I see when I log 
in to my router is different than what verizon customers see.

This will be a 16 character hex string. Once you know this . . .go to the Reservations section of the DHCP config page and tell the DHCP server to always give IP 10 (or whatever the printer currently has) to the MAC address of the printer . . .that way when the printer asks for an IP it will always get 10 (or 15 or 11 or whatever you assigned).
