WAN link is up! List mail is delivered where I need it! The LAN seems happy! Even Eudora seems to work! Life is good ATM. Well,............ :)
Glitch: Every 10 minutes or so my router posts a log entry that says: Access denied to LAN system w/MAC address 00xxx......" Got log files with lots of these........ The MAC address is my Brother printer! (and this took me 2 days to figure out...... :)) I read this as my printer trying to connect to the WAN, maybe. Like trying to 'phone home.' Can I admin the printer to stop whatever LAN calls it may be raising? The printer is a Brother 2070N. It does have a print server built in. Yes, I do have all my LAN machines talking/printing to it via individual tcp/ip ports focused at the printer's new IP addy. All seems to work AOK. I do have Brother's latest BR Admin SW loaded to my server. I do notice that when I look at the tcp/ip tab of the print server, there are several modules/protocols checked that I do not yet know why they may need to be as they are. Yes, I have already disabled Brother's APIPA business (Automatic Private IP Addressing). DHCP in the print server is also disabled. All comments, suggestions gratefully accepted. I am stumpted. I have not yet figured out how to get the printer to spit out that odd-reading tcp/ip tab.... Thank you. Best, Duncan
