I have tried repeatedly to connect a printer: Brother 5440N through a
Netgear DSL/Router + Wireless.

It is connected through a Cat 5 cable to one of the 4 wired connections.

I've tried running the installation CD correctly.

The Printer is visible in all the Wireless router configurations, it has
been given an IP address by the DHCP.

It has a Mac address, it has a name,

It is not visible on the Network neighbourhood, only computers appear.

When I try to install the printer, it is not seen on the home network.

When I try giving the IP address, it cannot find it.

I tried disabling the Windows firewall, still no success.

Absolutely Impossible to be seen by the client computer.

Any clue?
