By the way do you have a firewall on?

Still no luck - tried with and without firewall, lowered all internet settings and it just seems that it is not getting the ip address - info below. Tried al different profiles etc and no luck (

Your wireless router requires a WEP security key. The security key configured on your printer does not match exactly. Reconfigure your wireless network WEP security key for your printer.
Your printer has limited connectivity. Your printer is using IP address 169.254.100.251, which is not compatible with the IP address 192.168.2.3 of the PC. Power off your printer and then power on and wait 60 sec for the printer to acquire an IP address. Then click Retry.

can you you do the following for me in this order:

reboot your router
Reset the printer (turn off, unplug from the back, wait 30 seconds, plug in, turn on)
