Solve : Wireless print server disrupting internet?

Answer»

I ran into a problem that I've never seen before.  The wireless print server WOULD boot the USER off of the internet.  

What I did do was ping the router to test CONNECTIVITY.  That was fine.  I reinstalled the wireless print server on both laptops and printed just fine and got internet connectivity stable.  I then pinged the print server and everything was ok.  I didn't have to manually CONFIGURE any IP addresses.  The print server configured itself to the network when I re-installed it.

I took an educated guess that the print server was trying to initially connect to a different network. Is that correct.  I also figured that power cycling the router then the print server would solve this problem in the future.  

Thoughts?  It was a Netgear router and print server and two toshiba celeron M processors.How do you know that the print server was interfering with the internet?  What were the SYMPTOMS?

Generally print servers/network printers will configure themselves through DHCP, which should avoid network clashes.
