Thanks Carmen, I appreciate any hints I can get at this point. One of our biggest issues is the I/P stack issue. ESF is on one stack and the printer is on another agencies network which is accessible through the other I/P stack.

I need some suggestions/direction to accomplish a task that may or may not be doable. We have a customer that needs to connect their Xerox printer to the mainframe (via a BARR system and network). We planned to use ESF to push the output to the BARR server. We ran into a stumbling block with the way our TCPIP stacks are defined. ESF runs on our primary TCPIP stack. The printer connection is within the user's TCPIPB stack. We can't change ESF to use the other stack since there are other printers that use it. If we try to connect through the main stack, we get nothing (which is what we should get on the main stack). If we bring up ESF on the TCPIPB stack we get the following 12:47:00 Gethostbyname 12:47:00 Socket 3 Bind port 515 from 0.0.0.0 port 721 12:47:00 Socket 3 Connect to port 515 from port 721 12:47:00 Connect errno=49. Destination host refused socket connection 12:47:00 Socket 3 Bind port 515 from 0.0.0.0 port 722 12:47:00 Socket 3 Connect to port 515 from port 722 12:47:00 Connect errno=49. Destination host refused socket connection We don't know where the error is, on our end or the users end where the BARR Server resides. The next problem is getting the output through ESF and onto a different TCPIP Stack. A suggestion was given to us that somewhere (such as a REXX exec) we should be able to tell ESF what stack the Xerox Printer/BARR server resides in and then route it out to that address. We do not have strong TCPIP experience and we are at a loss on how to accomplish this. Does anyone have any suggestions or other methods to get this to work? We're running out of ideas Thanks, Mary ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
