This may be OT, I'm not sure. Perhaps someone can point me in the
right direction:
Last summer I started setting up a home network and started by bringing
up a 'server' which at that time had no ip masq or diald yet configured.
One of the first things I got working was remote printing on the other
Linux box, the one that actually had a printer. I don't print from the
server very often, and it so happens that a number of months have gone
by since I last did so. During that interval ip masq and diald have been
set up on that server and have been in use there since, oh, probably
Sept/Oct of last year.
so, last night I wanted to print out a man page while I was working on
the server, and lo and behold was I shocked to see that not only does
remote printing not work, but the modem connection comes up for attempts
to print, or attempts to do "lpq" or "lprm". needless to say those
requests don't work either.
Here's an entry from /var/log/messages:
Mar 4 10:14:47 server kernel: sl0: xmit call when iface is down
Mar 4 10:14:47 server diald[338]: Trigger: udp 192.168.1.1/59396
206.34.200.2/53
It looks like a domain request (port 53) ???? What the hey? I don't have a DNS
set up here, but the system with the printer IS in /etc/hosts on all machines.
Tks in advance!
Fred
