Yes on all counts. > If 192.168.0.2 is not the network IP address of the client (host 1), > then the connection is denied. 192.168.0.2 is the LAN address of the client (host 1). > If the printer is connected to host 1... well, that only allows > connections from localhost (itself).

The printer is physically connected to host 2 which acts as the server with IP address 102.168.0.3 > So what I would suggest is that the server allow connections from the > network as a whole, or the specific network IPs of the > various networked > clients. > [snip] > > So if you have more than one machine on the network, you > might consider > changing the "Allow From" statements to read something like > > Allow From 192.168.0.* Each machine has only one NIC which connects them to the router/LAN/Internet. The router (netgear ADSL thingy) is 192.168.0.1 and acts both as the Internet gateway and the DNS for the machines on the LAN. I would rather allow access to explicit IP addresses, in this case 192.168.0.2 which is the client. Thanks for the heads up on the "HostNameLookups On". I'll try it tonight - although setting the IP address would remove one more thing for me to get wrong. ;-) -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
