You wrote: Why are you plugging the MFP into the V-Portal? The MFP should be connected to an available ethernet port on the linksys router.
My office is hardwired networked. Rather than plug the V-portal into the router and run a telephone cord along the carpet to the phone closet. I wanted to plug the V-portal into the wall Jack next to the MFP and then plug the MFP into the V-portal. Problem is when doing this the V-portal assigns the MFP 192.168.15.2 and the office computers can't see it. The office computers are are all 192.168.9.100 - 192.168.9.149 |

I have never done this, but I think your answer may reside in (see your user manual, Chapter 3 page 8 ), under Advanced Routing. Setting a routing table to your VPortal may allow you to see your printer.
Let us know if this works. |

Anything connected behind the V-Portal will be assigned an IP address in the range of 192.168.15.2-192.168.15.254 thus blocking all office computers from seeing the MFP. With your current setup, the only way the office computers are going to be able to see the MFP, is to connect the MFP to the Linksys router. |
