You need to assign an IP manually on the device first. Connect it to you PC and give it a range on you IP assignments, before connecting it to you AP and then reserving the IP on your AP.

Hi Okechukwu/Philip and Mike

Am talking of an external wireless print server and a Dlink DP-G310 to be exact. Am trying to connect it to a  an Access Point and then the access point is connected to a router and the router to a server which issue IP through DHCP.

I am able to establish a connection between the print-server and the AP but when I manually assign the an IP address to the print server, it does not work.  Anyone who can help please?

wireless printer with a cable or wirelessly to the access point.
