This explains why the G3 doesn't find it. Can you ping it from the G4? I'll wager you can. Compare the G3's and G4's tcp/ip settings (gateway and netmask in particular), they should be the same other than IP address. Also compare the Jetdirect's TCP/IP settings. Try pinging all the other devices (both computers, both printers) on your network from both computers. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
