Brother MFC-440CN Network Scan

[shawn10]

I really need help.

My Brother MFC-440CN is connected to the home router and all the 6 computers around the house can print with no problem. I can't seem to find a way to scan using the printer through the router. I want to use Windows Vista's Fax and Scan. So, I click on new printer and answer all the questions and all except when it comes to me asking about the printer name. I can't seem to find the right name. I went in the Start Menu, Network, double-clicked on my router to bring me to the user identification thing. I enter the credentials and go find the list of the connected devices. Here is my list:

Dynamic DHCP Client List :

I'm guessing that it's the last one . But Windows Fax and Scan won't take that name. I tried the IP adress but that didn'T work either. I need to make this work cause every time I want to scan, I have to bring the laptop downstairs and connect the printer via USB. I there's absolutely no way that it would work with Windows Fax and Scan, I'm OK with using another program.
Any ideas?

Can you scan when directly hooked up via USB? Sometimes multifunction printers have a hard time doing all of their functions over ethernet. At $130 street price, it's pretty amazing this even has ethernet. Just goes to show how the manufacturers are making all their money on ink.

Yes, I can scan vis USB just fine. I just want to do it over ethernet.
