How to find Epson printers IP address and Port name

[joanb]

I am totally computer ignorant. I bought a new wireless Epson 810 printer. I am trying to connect my Dell desktop to it(Windows XP)and my Dell laptop (Windows Vista-ugh!). I have the printer hooked up to my wireless network but I can't get either of my computers to recognize it. What to do???

In Windows Vista click on Control Panel then click on Printer on the right pane right click and click on add printer or click on Control Panel then click on Network and Internet, on the right pane click on Add a device to the network, windows will search for the printer then follow the steps. On Wireless Network Installation - Your router should have an (Network Name) SSID, example dennis, and a WEP key or WPA passphrase, example demonknight. Access your router by LAN first (Your PC should be connected to the router - consult the manual) - Open internet browser, on the title bar type 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 (the numbers will vary with the router brands - its on the manual) Set the SSID and WEP or WPA key from there. Once your router is configured your desktop computer and your laptop should see the SSID and connect it using the WEP or WPA key you have set on your router. Once you do that you will be connected.

Most Belkin routers use http://192.168.2.1 for an IP address.
