Box B (no printer) is configured only with "Show printers shared by other systems" checked. The error I now get trying to print a test page on Box B is: "An error occurred while loading http://valhalla.org:631/printers/EpsonDX6050?op=print-self-test-page: Could not connect to host valhalla.org (port 631)"Ah-ha. Your server feels/thinks it is valhalla.org This means you need to define in your "hosts" file on "winlin" 192.168.1.40 valhalla.org valhalla But this will make it so you cannot get to the "real" valhalla.org, which is really not a problem, as it is in parking at the moment.I'm sure that this can't be that difficult so am quite willing to accept that I've put a spanner in this somewhere. Just can't figure out where I may have done so ...I believe, you either need to fix your server (which ATM doesn't matter with valhalla.org period) or just do the /etc/hosts entry. You might also want to give your server an entry like: 192.168.1.29 winlin I believe we have solved your problem. You are brilliant - thank you SO much!!
