belkin wireless print server

When I try and install the Belkin Wireless Print Wizard I get the follow error: Unable to send packet to socket (ERROR code: 10065) This worked fine under Windows XP and works on two other laptops in my home which are using XP--called Belkin tech support was on phone with them for about 1 hour--got to high up tech and was determined that they do not support Visa yet.
Anyone able to get this to work. (at least I have a work around until the drivers are supporting visa (I hook up my laptop directly via USB port to the printer)

the device is unreachable. Does the Belkin Wizard use Standard TCP/IP Port or are they installing their own print monitor?
Look at the Port description on the XP machine.
If they have their own port monitor can you try the Standard TCP/IP Port in Vista. You'll need to know the IP and how (which port) the Belkin device accepts data.
err 10065

The Wizard errors out --that is when I got the error. I tried to configure the IP address to the same as my XP computer--still did not work-- I think that I tried this when I was on the phone with Belkin-- Thanks for responding--probably going to have to wait until they come up with new Wizard--This is a wireless print server--not sure I mentioned this

I think the solution you tried is correct in principle but not in executuion. You have to use a unique address for the print server.
Check the user manual. Try p8 and following. If you cannot locate your hard copy, there might be a copy oas a PDF file on the CD that came with the device. If not, there is one one-line. http://web.belkin.com/support/download/files/F1UP0001_Manual.pdf
Let us know.

I went through all the steps and still did not work.. Thanks for the help.
It might not be vista though--because now my XP printers will not work with it either--so I went back to square 1--factory reset on print server hooked up to Ethernet and went through Wizard--then when I unconnected will not find my printers--back to the drawling board---not sure but might have gotten zapped the other night when power went off on and --although we were able to print after from the XP computers.

OK---so now I got it to work--but I have to have it connected to the network via Ethernet--it works on both the xp computer & vista--at least for now that is a workaround--I am able to print wireless--but will keep it connected to a spare either net cable I have.
thanks all for your suggestions
