Brother MFC-465CN network problem

I can't figure out why this wont work. I looked at the manual and did everything, it just wont work.

Okay, so I want to set up my printer, to print from anywhere I am in the house. I hooked it up to my wireless/wired router via ethernet.

Now this is the fun part, I can't get it to print. I have tried using TCP/IP ports but NOTHING. I used BRAdmin but it only lets me configure it but not actually print from it, which I found stupid. I don't know what to do, I am COMPLETELY stuck. I have provided a drawing via paint:
Essentially the printer should be able to print from anywhere, as long as I am connected to the router wirelessly or wired.

Is your printer listed on your network? Have you clicked the box to share the printer, in the printer properties?
