Hi, the frozen time may be shorter, if one does not arp -s/-f the hosts in the local network. E.g. with telnet the error strcmp:/tmp> telnet 192.168.171.5 Trying 192.168.171.5... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host (an arp timeout) for non-preloaded (and non-existing) hosts is much faster, than a tcp timeout. Still, this is by chance only and freezing windows are very disturbing. Can contacting the print server be made asynchroneous? Or at least, after a while, open a 'please wait, still contacting the print server (%s)'-box? -- 00000000 52 61 6c 66 2e 4e 65 75 : 62 61 75 65 72 40 65 70 Ralf.Neubauer@ep 00000010 6f 73 74 2e 64 65 0a 77 : 75 40 69 61 6d 2e 75 6e ost.de.wu@iam.un 00000020 69 2d 62 6f 6e 6e 2e 64 : 65 0a i-bonn.de.
