Print Server with Netgear DG834GT

Hi I'm having problems trying to set up an Edimax print server with my Netgear DG834GT router.

It lights up showing it's connected to the network, and when the USB printer is plugged into it, it prints out a diagnostics page; but when I try and install the software, it can't find the print server, and in Attached Devices under the router admin pages, it does not appear either.

Any ideas? I'm hoping it isn't a dud because it was from eBay, but the fact it lights up and everything else...

Anyone? I'm partly there now...

Once I shutdown ZoneAlarm (although now I configured it so it should work with it), I could connect to the print server when the computer was directly connected to it (ie. not connected to the router). I set the IP of it to 192.168.2.120 as shown in the guide I'm following, but when I try to ping it I get nothing (directly connected / connected to router / with/without ZoneAlarm).

The guide is here if that helps [ http://www.edimax.nl/html/Faq/PrintServer_Basic_v20.pdf ] - I got pointed to it when I was searching for a solution.

After much ado and about 2 hours later, I finally got it working, no worries!
