Next thing I'd try Stephen, would be to connect the embosser
direct to your PC's network port, and try pinging the
embosser again. If it is OK, then it perhaps points to a
router issue, which is a whole other ball game.
If it fails, then there are two possibilities. 1) The
network cable may be suspect, or perhaps crossover when it
should be straight through. Or 2) you need to change the IP
address.
George.
