Okay, I went out and bought a brand new TRENDnet print server.
And, like the used one, it still takes down the network.  This time,
I used Firestarter to dig further.  Firestarter blocked the following event 
...

PORT = 67
SOURCE = 0.0.0.0        [the culprit ?]
PROTOCOL = UDP
SERVICE = DHCP

Wouldn't the above event conflict with some routers [192.168.0.xxx]?

And, the following event ...

PORT = <blank>
SOURCE = 192.168.0.xxx        [valid print server IP address not shown]
PROTOCOL = ICMP
SERVICE = Unknown        [the culprit ?]

Firestarter Preferences has ICMP Filtering enabled with ALL options checked.

Any ideas?
