That's essentially the same test that Beartooth already did when he typed "http://192.168.x.y:631/admin"; into Firefox. He was told that the connection failed. The next step is then to find out *why* the connection failed. To that end I asked him to check the two reasons I thought were most likey. By using the netstat command that you quoted we found out that Cups does indeed listen for requests from other machines, so that reason is now eliminated. If we were to suspect that Firefox or Privoxy was misbehaving, then testing with Telnet instead would be valuable. Since the connection currently fails for Telnet too, there's no reason to suspect Firefox or Privoxy. Björn Persson
