I am trying to help someone connect an engraver to their network and I am having no luck, I know I'm missing something but I cannot figure it out. The setup:
CenturyLink Modem --> Apple Airport Extreme --> Apple Extender Box --> Another Apple Airport Extreme --> Dlink DGS 108 --> Two PCs (Win7 and Win10, two engraver printers.
Just to make sure from the Airport Extreme I have an Ethernet cable connected from this <--> port to the dlink slot 1, 2 and 3 are the PCs, the gigabit switch slots 5,6 for the printers.
I just want to connect one printer (epilog fusion) to the Win 7 PC for now. I'm using crossover cables for the printers from the dlink as epilog told me I HAD to use them.
Someone previously came and tried to set up the printers, with no luck. This is what I see on the printer itself:
- IP address:
192.168.0.5
- Subnet is:
255.255.255.0
- Gateway:
192.168.0.1
The printer was setup when installed using this:
- LPR
- IP address
192.168.0.5
When I type in ipconfig
I get:
- Gateway is
192.168.0.1
-- assuming this is the router its connected to - IPV4
192.168.0.19
Looking at the settings I also see that DHCP is disabled? For the life of me I cannot find the printer let alone get a connection. The settings do not look right to me at all, at this point I'm lost. Any help would be great.
