Sean,

I don't think this is a firewall issue because I was able to get a response
when issuing:
smbclient //XP_computer_IPaddress/print

The response from the XP machine was:

Domain=[LAN] os=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]
tree connect failed:NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME

This sounds like an XP issue, doesn't it?

Bob

Hey Bob,

Try the smbclient from the command line and see what it tells you:

smbclient  //computer/printer

it will probably ask you for a password and you can just press ENTER.
if you do successfully connect then you can try a print command like:

print /etc/issue

See what happens, either way it will give a clue as to what's going on.

Cheers,
Sean
