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
