This was already done when I started the threadGo into XP and uninstall the driver and settings for the printer, I'm not sure how brother works but it might just reconfigure it every time you start xp.
shut down xp and then rest the printer to default settings so it gets a IP from DHCP,I'll start testing ...next edit your etc/hosts file and comment out the 10. address. you should be able to rpint from linux now.
If you have to instal the driver in XP make sure you point it to the 192 address and don't let it configure it for a 10. address. It tires to configure it with a 10. address because it sees it as directly connected to the 10. LAN winxp sits in and does not realise it's natted.

I have uninstalled the Brother printer driver from winxp in vbox (long ago, and I checked it last night: nothing found). I have changed /etc/hosts in Ubuntu 10.04, changed the reserved IP table in the router and restarted the whole environment: router, printer, computer(s). Finally a made a new attempt(?) to reset the printer.
I made a complete poweroff for several minutes. Vbox is not started. Still somewhere there is a trace left, so that the printer thinks it has the IP adress 10.0.2.48, as seen by the router, but it is not responsive in the network.
Could the bad IP address be stored in the printer's ethernet interface? Or am I overlooking something?
Edit: now, after about 50 minutes (without reboot), the router is not seeing anything at 10.0.2.48, it does not see the printer at all. It is not responding to ping, neither at
192.168.0.7 nor 10.0.2.48
Code:$ ping BRN001BA9712324 PING BRN001BA9712324 (192.168.0.7) 56(84) bytes of data.

Yes the IP can be stored if the windows gui installer configured it.
Press Go three times within 2 seconds to print network settings information.
From the Brother network manual:
After you have done this wait 2 minutes or so and then print another settings page.Code:Reset the network settings to the factory default You can reset the print server back to its default factory settings (resetting all information such as the password and IP address information). a. Turn off the machine. b. Make sure that the front cover is closed and the power cord is plugged in. c. Hold down Go as you turn on the power switch. Keep Go pressed down until all the LEDs light up and then Ready LED turns off. d. Release Go. Make sure that all the LEDs turn off. e. Press Go six times. Make sure that all the LEDs light up to indicate the print server has been reset to its factory default settings. The machine will restart.

Yes, it has stated for a long time (when printing the printer settings)
...
IP Address 10.0.2.48 (set manually)
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
IP Gateway 192.168.0.1
Boot method STATIC
...
And this is although I have used the method you quoted (pressing the button and looking at the LEDs) several times, also today. There is one thing, that might screw things up: I have a warning, that the toner is low. It is still printing very well (via USB), but maybe that warning status prevents complete resetting.
Edit: the printer settings output shows graphically, that there should be ~40% left of the toner, so it is not very low.

You sure you are doing it right?
If the reset procedure does not work then:
a. directly connect a pc to the printer via a crossover ethernet cable. Configure the pc with a 10.0.2.50 ip address and try and access it via it's web interface to reset.
b. reconfigure your entire network, pc & router to the 10.0.2.0 network and try and connect to it via it's web interface.

No, I'd be crazy to be 100% sureI have an ethernet crossover cable somewhere. How do I configure the PC's IP address in this case?If the reset procedure does not work then:
a. directly connect a pc to the printer via a crossover ethernet cable. Configure the pc with a 10.0.2.50 ip address and try and access it via it's web interface to reset.
And would it be hard to reverse, in other words, should I do it booted from a live Ubuntu USB drive? Would it be easier to do it from a PC with WinXP installed (direct install, no vbox)? Suggest whatever is easy for you to guide
This would be the last option.b. reconfigure your entire network, pc & router to the 10.0.2.0 network and try and connect to it via it's web interface.

Yeah, boot with a livecd if you don't wanna make any changes.
Configure your IP address manually:
IP- 10.0.2.10
Netmask- 255.255.255.0
You don't need to configure a gateway but if you must just use 10.0.2.1 not that it will be useful for anything.
See if you can ping the printer.
If you still have no luck then try a XP machine connected to it with the brither configuration utility. XP machine will use the same IP details as above.
If you wanna livechat at any stage during this join me on IRC, irc.freenode.net, #mips1911 might be faster than going backwards and forwards here.
That I would agree with

Supported by you, mips, as well as the following link, I set up a crossover network with my IBM T41 laptop with Lubuntu 12.04 live, and when I ping to 10.0.2.48 I get response and no packet lossI guess the next step is to try to log in to the printer10.0.2.48 via the network.

or more specifically this reply
SUCCESS! Thanks everyone!
I setup the system as you suggested and it works fine. It is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for everyones help.[Originally Posted by damgar]
In your set up you will have 2 servers. Any machine sharing it's resources is a server.
Set an IP on each computer's ethernet port, if there's only one than that is eth0, to be in the same subnet. Like :
The gateways may not even be neccessary, but can't hurt. You'll have to make sure that they are in the same workgroup, at my house I call it "workgroup" because I'm lazy and it's easy.Code:desktop IP address 192.168.1.5 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.6 laptop IP address 192.168.1.6 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.5
The IP addresses can be set in NetworkManager (the little computer icons on the panel)if you don't see it, use the "add to panel" feature to enable it.
Then in places go to network and if it doesn't see the other machine try clicking on "windows network" or something to that effect, use context clues.
Post back if you can't get it from there.

Open a web browser and use this url to connect to it, http://10.0.2.48/
Default login details are,
User: admin
Password: access
You can now change the IP details to match your 192.168.0.x network and save it.
