Need Help - Brother HL-2170W - not printing

[Scott B]

I recently purchased a Brother HL-2170W wireless printer.
It took a while to configure, but I was able to establish connection.
I have two computers (desktop, laptop) both using a wireless connection
via a Linksys WRT54G router (WEP secured, DSL connection).

I can print from the desktop to the wireless printer.
However, I can't print from the laptop to the wireless printer.
The printer has been added to both printers (standard TCP/IP port).

First, I installed the printer to the desktop.
Then, when I installed the printer to the laptop,
it initially detected it and printed the 'network configuration,'
but when I try to print anything from any other program,
the document just sits in the printer queue.

Is there something I may have missed?
I am really confounded.
I searched on the Brother website (http://solutions.brother.com)
but I couldn't find anything relating to my situation.

I have uninstalled, reinstalled the driver.
I can print the settings, test page, font list via the
Web (192.168.100/admin/panel.html) and BRAdmin Light application.
But any other application will not print.
Please advise!

First thing is to always check the firewall settings and Internet worm
virus portection within the anti-virus software that you are using.

That is correct.I have setup several wireless printers,and the firewall
settings do cause conflicts.Brother has great tech support.If you can't
figure out the problem,give them a call!
You might want to check out their support on line also.I am sure this is a
common problem with the newer printers.
