I have connected the d-link to a KOT printer,my network cannot find the server.And according to the manual I cannot browse the default ip of the DP-301P+ sever.please assist me immediately.

This model does actually have embedded network functionallity.
To configure the IP Address, follow the menu map as below:
1) - (4) I/O
2) - (4-2) Embedded JetDirect Menu
3) - (4-2-2) TCP/IP
4) - (4-2-2-1) Enable (Make sure this is 'On')
5) - (4-2-2-3) IPV4 Settings
6) - (4-2-2-3-1) Config Method (Auto = DHCP, Set to Manual in order to specify an IP address.)
7) - (4-2-2-3-2) Manual Settings (This is where you can set the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway.)

hmm ok you got windows xp right
]now here is what you do

CLICK START / PRINTER AND FAXES
SELECT ADD A PRINTER
THEN SELECT A NETWORK PRINTER AND CLICK NEXT
SELECT BROWSE FOR A PRINTER AND CLICK NEXT
SELECT THE PRINTER AND CLICK NEXT
NB.. It may require your printer driver so keep it handy and only insert the disc if it ask you too..

OR YOU CAN TRY

IF YOUR PRINTSERVER DOES NOT SHOW UP IN MY NETWORK PLACES YOU GOT IT SET UP WRONG...

ZPS2102, ZPW1000, ZPS1000 :: Trouble shooting tips for finding the print server using the utility

supporting troubleshooting links
? A: Please check the connection link light.

Temporarily disable all firewalls on your system even the Windows XP firewall
(for instruction to disable XP firewall, please go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283673 )

Power cycle the print sever by unplug the power at the back (10 second).
The print server default IP is 192.168.5.1
Set the computer which has the print server utility installed to have an IP of 192.168.5.2

(Test ping the print server / 192.168.5.1 --
If print server is respond to ping, using web browser with the address of 192.168.5.1 will also beable to configure the print server)

Run the utility/hit the refresh button to find the print server again.
The CD has two installation methods:
1. The Auto run will run the utility.
2. By manually install the program into your system. (Browse CD to the folder: manual installation.)
It is recommended to use the 2nd method and run the PSAdmin utility from the system's programs after the installation is completed.
If it still could not find the print server, direct connect your computer to the print server using cross over cable and run the utility again to find the print server.
When it finds the print server, change the print server IP(192.168.5.1) to a unique static IP your router can accept. Put the print server back to the network, change back your computer's IP accordingly and try ping the print server with the new IP or run the utility again.

For wireless print server, it is recommended to use Ad-hoc connection from a wireless computer to connect to the print server first. (follow the Quick Installation Guide booklet that came with the box on page 8)

First find out the IP address , Subnet mask,and Gateway addresses of your ISP ( Internet Service Provider ). According to above addresses, you have to complete the network settings of your printer by mentioning the different IP address .

To find out the above mentioned addresses, first open the control panel -> network connections -> local area connction -> properties -> Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPV4) OR Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPV6)according to your ISP -> Properties

By the systematic selection as mentioned above you will get the IP address, subnet mask and Gateway addresses.

Suppose your IP address is 192.168.0.10 , the gateway may be 192.168.0.1 Or any number. And the subnet mask may be XYY.XYY.XYY.0.

According to your ISP addresses you have to complete the network settings of your printer. First press the additional functions -> system settings -> network settings -> TCP/IP settings -> fill up the addresses as follows.

IP address : 192.168.0.16 OR any number .

subnet mask : XYY.XYY.XYY.0.

Gateway : 192.168.0.1

Hurray ! the problem about your network connection with the printer to your computer will be automatically solved.

Local area connection is meant for wired LAN connection. you can connect the internet using a straight clable wire.
on how to make a straight cable,below is the link

http://www.ertyu.org/steven_nikkel/ethernetcables.html

But as you have said you can connect using wireless,then in wireless adapter setting,

Assigned your IP address Plus Subnet Mask address.
Set your wireless access point IP address as your Default Gateway Address.

In Primary DNS address as provided by your Internet service provider.specify secondary address too,it available.

If DHCP server is available then you don't need to configure anything.

If you are trying to browse internet through a proxy server than Go to internet Explorer,Click "Tools", Select "Internet options ", Select Connection, Tick Proxy server and specify the IP address of your proxy server and the port.

you will be able to browse Internet now.

Before You Start
Browse into the Netopia's web interface at http://192.168.1.254 (if using the default IP setting). If your network has a different IP addressing scheme, modify this accordingly.
Login with the admin user name and password. Admin login is required to save changes. If you are unsure of this, contact your network administrator.
Once logged in, click on the Expert Mode link in the left-hand side menu (if that link is visible). In the Expert Mode Confirmation screen click on Ok to continue. This menu bar will be visible at the top of your screen if you are in Expert Mode.

Remember to click the Submit button to save any entries. Hitting the back button without clicking Submit will undo any changes.
Once you have completed your configuration, click on the symbol in your upper right hand corner to validate the changes. Then click on Save and Restart.
The Netopia Web GUI Home Page in Expert Mode (Firmware v6.3 and later)
Configuration for NAT Default Host

1. Click on Configure in the upper Menu bar.
2. Click on Advanced.
3. Under the NAT heading, click on the Default Server link to Set up NAT default server options.
   
4. "Check" Enable Default Server.
5. When the Default Server box appears, enter the NAT Server IP Address for the specified internal host to which NAT traffic should be directed.
6. Click on Submit.
7. Click on the in the upper right hand corner. This will validate that the settings are legal for your network.
8. If you get Validation Passed, click Save and Restart in the menu. If it doesn't validate the change, a message will indicate the reason. It must be corrected before the configuration change can be applied.
9. This completes the configuration of the Netopia for NAT Default Host.
10. the nat server ip is the one you type into the browser were you had to type in your admin log in

The problem is you want to have the printer on a fixed IP address. This can be done by reserving the IP for the mac address of the printer in the router OR simpler just set the IP address in the printer.

Change IP settings
The default setting for the IP settings is Automatic, which sets the IP settings
automatically. However, if you are an advanced user, you might want to manually change
the IP address, subnet mask, or the default gateway. To see the IP address and subnet
mask of the HP All-in-One, print a network configuration page from the HP All-in-One.
NOTE: When manually entering an IP Setting, you must already be connected to an
active Network, otherwise the setting will not stay when you exit from the menu.
CAUTION: Be careful when manually assigning an IP address. If you enter an invalid
IP address during the installation, your network components will not be able to connect
with the HP All-in-One.
To change IP settings
1. Press Setup.
2. Press until Network is highlighted, then press OK.
The Network menu appears.
3. Press until Advanced Setup is highlighted, and then press OK.
4. Press until IP Settings is highlighted, and then press OK.
If the HP All-in-One is already connected to a wired network, you are prompted to
confirm that you want to change the IP settings. Press OK.
5. Press until Manual is highlighted, and then press OK.
6. Press to highlight one of the following IP settings, and then press OK.
• IP Address
• Subnet Mask
• Default Gateway
7. Enter your changes, and then press OK to confirm the setting.

Using a print server like this, you should not need to "browse" to find the printers. See what ip address has been assigned to the printer. Once you have the ip address, open a command prompt (start -> run -> cmd) and type:
ping <insert ip address>
ex: ping 192.168.0.24

See if you can ping the printer from each of your computers. If you can, great, install the new printer by adding a "local" printer at a new TCP/IP port with the IP address of your printer. If not, then you may have some routing issues.

Are all of the printers connected to the same switch? Do you have multiple "routers" on your network acting as DHCP servers?

Hope this helps.

Print servers are typically controlled through a web interface, and do not need specific drivers. You can download the manual and installation guides here. You may need to change the default IP address; look at the section on Networking Basics in the manual.

Hi Luis,

Sorry, it had been my mistake, did not realise your model does not have ethernet port at the back.

On D-Link printer servers that do not have cable connections it requires a couple more operations, you must do the following to connect safely to the server and open configuration:

• On the rear panel of the DP-311P you fiind a switch to set server to Config mode. Set the switch to
• Now go to the computer that is connecting wirelessly to the D-Link, go to wireless adapter properties, for example using control panel, and set the adapter to Ad-Hoc mode.
• Change manually the wireless adapter IP Address so that it is in the same IP Address range
• as the DP-311P, set the wireless adapter to a static IP address comprised within 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.255 excluding 192.160.0.10.
• Always in wireless adapter settings >> IP configuration, set subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.
• Ensure you click OK, or Apply in network settings Window, and restart the computer to apply new network settings.
• Open Internet Explorer and type the IP Address of your wireless print server in the address bar. The default IP Address is 192.168.0.10.
  

You also find procedure explained at page 7 of the user manual here : D-Link DP-311P

Then follow instructions at page 15 to reset the server.

After you have finished configuring the DP-311P, to save the changes, you must toggle the mode switch on the rear panel of the print server back to “Normal” mode.
