I once configured my Netgear PS101 to have IP 192.168.99. I can ping it - like you: $ ping -c1 192.168.0.99 PING 192.168.0.99 (192.168.0.99) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.0.99: icmp_seq=0 ttl=30 time=3.15 ms --- 192.168.0.99 ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 3.155/3.155/3.155/0.000 ms, pipe 2 A scan against the print server's LPD port shows it open: $ nmap -v -p515 192.168.0.99 Starting nmap 3.70 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2004-12-10 03:29 CET Initiating Connect() Scan against netgear.dogma.lan (192.168.0.99) [1 port] at 03:29 Discovered open port 515/tcp on 192.168.0.99 The Connect() Scan took 0.05s to scan 1 total ports. Host netgear.dogma.lan (192.168.0.99) appears to be up ... good. Interesting ports on netgear.dogma.lan (192.168.0.99): PORT STATE SERVICE 515/tcp open printer Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.371 seconds Are you able to connect it in a different network to test connectivity from a different system? Maybe even a Windows[tm] system and then to use the Windows[tm] drivers/tools for that device? Normally I would not suspect a coincidence with a print server break while switching from FC2 to FC3. The last recommend I can give is to flush firewall rules with service iptables stop to be sure, nothing blocks network traffic. But as you say the print server states no ports open, this shouldn't be the case at all. So there leave just the ordinary, basic things: check your cable, switch the print server off for some time by taking off power (for longer than a second, time enough that stored power can went away), check ethernet cable connector fit in the print server plug. Hope something will help.
