Tim,
The short of it, I re-ran the rc.firewall command before flushing the Ipchains
table (i.e. ipchains -F)
I can print via a static IP address (a real one), however I would prefer to limit
SAMBA to my internal network, thus the Private Network Addresses.
If I could guarantee that SAMBA would only work with my nodes, then I would
revert back to my addresses, of which I have five valid addresses.
I know of a problem with the ipautoforward for port information, but that is
already taken out of the kernel.
Still looking for assistance here folks!
