Happy Holidays, Fellow Cookers! Yesterday I sent this, with less details, but it didn't go through.
Usually I connect to the internet with an ethernet card. The host name for this computer which was set up during the installation was supplied by the cable company's dhcp server (ny-glensfalls3a-57). When I'm home CUPS works fine. When I am NOT connected to the network at all, CUPS works fine. When I'm connected to ANOTHER network with my ethernet card, CUPS works fine. Yesterday, I used my dial-up modem to connect to the internet. Whenever I was connected to the internet, any calls to the CUPS server would hang indefinitely. Disconnecting from the internet would un-freeze the calls to the CUPS server about 80% of the time. Looking at what is happening, it looks like the calls are being routed to the computer's host name, ie ipp://ny-glensfalls31-57.whatever/ rather than to ipp://localhost or ipp://127.0.0.1 When using the CUPS www tool, it shows an error message to that effect. Other tools just hang. More info available on request. V.
