I can see my printserver on my wireless router WGPS606 is its hostname.
My Home Network
Devices currently connected to your BT Home Hub:Wireless network:asuseeepc WGPS606 Ethernet:No devices detected USB:No devices detected
I can see from the log its ip address:
16:07:38, 18 Sep.(462356.100000) Lease for IP 192.168.1.70 renewed by host WGPS606 (MAC 00:18:4d:c0:8c:d7). Lease duration: 1440 min
16:07:38, 18 Sep.(462356.090000) Lease requested
And when I ping it i get:
ping 192.168.1.70
