The Jet Direct has 'no' dhcp server, just a client to receive and address. If it is still conflicting with the wireless and you can live with out the wireless for a few minutes... Telnet to the IP, ID admin and just press Enter to the pwd prompt. Using Help or ? you should be able to figure out hoe to set the Jet Direct to a static IP of your choice.
