I have two XP machines I'd like to be able to print to the Epson for convenience sake over the network wired Ethernet. I configured the Epson, set the IP address, windows work group, share name etc.. Updated the Ethernet firmware. Downloaded and installed v6.5 of the driver on the XP machines 32bit and it installed perfectly, selected the Epson Network port etc.. Printed a test page and all is well. Reboot the computer and the printer is offline, try to turn it back on-line and I get "Operation could not be completed". Has anyone experienced this? This happened on both networked XP machines, my main editing PC is on via USB and works fine.

no spaces or special characters in the printer share name and it is not longer than 14 characters, right?

Printer share name is "epson3800" no spaces. Still strange that it worked until I rebooted after the install. Just for kicks I also punched a hole in my Trend Micro firewall to the IP of the printer. I also tried turning the Trend software off completely so it is not a firewall issue.

Problem resolved, somehow the printer lost the config IP addess etc. Not sure when this happened..
