IP 192.168.1.5 has a wireless connection to a Linksys router (192.168.1.1) which then is connected to a switch. The switch is connected to a server (192.168.0.2). My printer has IP address of 192.168.0.8. Internet connection is fine on 192.168.1.5.
- Problem 1: IP 192.168.1.5 can not print using printer 192.168.0.8.
- Problem 2: IP 192.168.1.2 can not access a shared folder on the the server.
The reason for connecting this way is that, the server does not release wireless signal. In order to get wireless signal the Router is connected to the switch. The server is a computer server that only has one outgoing LAN port. Plus, due to inconvinience physical locations, I do not have option to change the physical locations and the way it is connected already.
I just want the labtops that only have wireless connection to communicate with the printer and the server.
I have tried to change the router IP address to 192.168.0.x like the server and printer. It caused problem for the laptop. The router no longer release internet signals.
The router does have IP address from the server 192.168.0.5.

Either you need to register a full account, or you need to make sure you keep cookies from this site and use the same browser each visit, or you need to use the recovery options provided on the login screen (linked in the header) each time you come back.

To print your documents your printer and Pc should be on the same network i.e either on 192.168.0.x or 192.168.1.x network. either connect the Pc to the switch or the printer to the wireless router. – tiki – 2012-06-15T08:38:49.333
