This might fail. Many SOHO cable/dsl routers won't pass the Appletalk protocol, TCP/IP only. Since you plan to connect via Netatalk, there is a good chance the router won't pass the protocol. Feel free to give it a shot as some routers are unintelligent hubs on the local side. If it fails (which I really suspect it will), then use TCP/IP to access the printer instead. I'm sure the JetDirect card in the printer has a TCP/IP Printer Daemon in it. Or, move the printer and the Mac to a regular switch or hub and chain that to the router (thus moving the Appletalk devices off the router and onto a switch that will transfer the protocol) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
