At high risk of hyjacking the thread, I have been following along, hoping
to be able to find my aio BIG brother scanner over the net, say from an
rpi4 running buster in the garage. This aio has both cat5 from a local
switch and a usb cable from this machine plugged into it and the aio has
a local net address of ###.###.71.21 assigned and is pingable from
anyplace on my local network. But the pi can only find it via the usb
cable.
[dll] sane_get_devices: found 1 devices
device `net:##.##.71.3:brother4:bus4;dev2' is a Brother MFC-J6920DW USB
scanner
Why can't it be found at 71.21? The .3 is this machine.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
