Bob Harris may be correct if you are using a subnet. If you have
anything connected to the cable modem besides the Wireless Router's WAN
****t, then move your hub to the LAN side of the Wireless Router.
I've had troubles with some wireless routers (and some wired routers)
not passing AppleTalk packets. I've tried various D-Link and NetGear
wireless routers with the same problem. Buffalo and Air****t wireless
routers do NOT have the problem. I don't know if this applies to
Bonjour.
I'm currently printing using AppleTalk via wireless to an Air****t base
station, with the printer connected via ethernet to an Air****t LAN ****t.
I can also print from an old LC III connected to a LAN ****t on the
Air****t. Another printer is connected to a LAN ****t on the Air****t, and
works wirelessly with the OS X machines using Bonjour.
