Hi aga,
What firewall are you using? Brand, plus version.
I have a Lexmark X6570 and using it Wirelessly. When I installed it,
with the McAfee Personal Firewall Plus installed, I had set the Firewall to
Open. When finished, I changed the setting back to Tight. Working fine.
Never disable the Firewall.
