HI it's been over a year that I've been having this problem... I have a 2Wire dsl modem and it's going into a Netgear wireless B router from there a cat5 cable goin into a belking network switch where all printers are connected with a mac G3. The problem is that everything that is connect to the wireless router does not see computers or printers connected to the belkin network swith. Plese help me out with this.

Is the layout like this?
Internet | Modem | Router ----- Wireless network | Switch | | | | Printers + Mac G3
or are the printers connected to the Mac G3 and the Mac G3 connected to the switch?

do the printers have ip addresses? If so can you ping them from the wireless side of the network? If not check your protocols. If a pure ip network check that both wireless and wired networks have ip in the same range. Easiest way of accomplishing this is to enable the router to server out dhcp addresses for the lan. Set the client machines and printers to be dhcp clients. Reboot everything and all should talk.

thanks for the information but the printers dont have a setting for IP's the problem itself is as if information that comes out of one computer attached to the router does not reach the network Hub and and reach its destination the same works inversly so the printer does not reach the router from the hub to give info to the pc about its presence on the network

Try using a crossover cable between the router and the WAN port of the switch.
