Yes on all counts. If 192.168.0.2 is not the network IP address of the client (host 1), then the connection is denied. 192.168.0.2 is the LAN address of the client (host 1). If the printer is connected to host 1... well, that only allows connections from localhost (itself). Connections from everywhere else are refused. The printer is physically connected to host 2 which acts as the server with IP address 102.168.0.3 So what I would suggest is that the server allow connections from the network as a whole, or the specific network IPs of the various networked clients.

The router (netgear ADSL thingy) is 192.168.0.1 and acts both as the Internet gateway and the DNS for the machines on the LAN. I would rather allow access to explicit IP addresses, in this case 192.168.0.2 which is the client. Thanks for the heads up on the HostNameLookups On. I'll try it tonight - although setting the IP address would remove one more thing for me to get wrong. ;-) -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Home Network Printing
silly question, but...any firewalling on the host? or client for that matter?

Probably because I do not completely understand the logic. The setup is as follows: I have two boxen, hostname1.STUDY and hostname2.STUDY. hostname2 has the printer connected to it via parallel port. The printer's name is Compaq-HP. Hostname2 can print locally without a hitch. I created a new printer on hostname1 and also named it Compaq-HP. I set the ipp address to ipp://hostname2.STUDY/ipp but I kept getting errors telling me it can't resolve the address. So I changed it to the LAN ip address (ipp://192.163.0.3/ipp)and it seems that it can now connect, but it cannot find the printer: = I [21/Nov/2005:21:55:47 +] [Job 44] Connecting to 192.168.0.3 on port 631...

I tried using the address as you suggested above but it says unknown host . . . perhaps I should add it in my hostname file, but my netgear router which acts as the nameserver should know where to go?
