ping [any valid IP address on your network - not the print

server]. The identified unit should reply.

After the response, enter:

arp -s [IP address of the Network Card] [MAC ADDRESS of

the Network Card]. The entry should be accepted.

ping [IP address of the Network Card]. Request should time

3. Recycle the power on the printer, or let the Network Card reset itself.
