I am loosing my cool on this so I need help. This has to do with the ipp (cupsd) port 631. On the server. Running netstat -anp |grep 631 returns: tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 24471/cupsd udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:631 0.0.0.0:* 24471/cupsd -- Indicating that cupsd is listening on that port. Running: nmap -sT -O localhost |grep 631 631/tcp open ipp And on the server I can telnet localhost 631 and it connects. However from a client when I run: nmap -sT -O sol |grep 631 from a client (sol is our server) the 631 entry does not appear and in fact when I telnet to the server at port 631 the connection is refused. One would hope that somewhere in the cupsd.conf there is a line that opens that port for access from other machines. Anyone know how to open that port or what that line is in the configuration file. There is no firewall involved here. ======================================================================= If Robert Di Niro assassinates Walter Slezak, will Jodie Foster marry Bonzo?? ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University telephone: (210)-999-7484
