Linda, A few things... are you running your own DNS server, or just using hosts? If running DNS, could be a resolving issue, espeically if FTP is not listed in your zone files, along with PTR reversing IP addresses... Do you have your printers assigned to IP addresses? Could be a resolving issue again, or maybe a router problem.. Try pinging to the problem IP FTP addresses and the printers. Or run Tcpdump or scan with nmap or xnmap to see what the issues are. I am assuming these are on a LAN. -- Best regards, Gary sed '/^[when][coders]/!d /^...[discover].$/d /^..[real].[code]$/!d ' /usr/share/dict/words -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
