James That was it, fixed that now I can ping using 192.168.0.x for any machine, but using a name that is in hosts file does not. The printers are on a network file server from netgear, PS1110 and a M$win2k server lp1 port. My wife machine has samba 3 and smbclient can not connect and cups can not find any remote, no ability to see remote machines. I guess I will figure out all of this in time.
DEP your right that if no print she will not be totally happy. Good news here - last weekend we had our 1st Sat computer sale. I bought 2 scsi HP6100c scanners for $5.00 total. I have one on wife's machine and suse setit up and scanned. money's worth on that deal already, sometimes you fall into crap and still smell like a rose<g>. I thought gimp had a scnner ability, only thing that have found is a camera selection now. What is there for scanner software? cheers -- Rick Sivernell Dallas, Texas 75287 972 306-2296 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gentoo Linux Registered Linux User .~. / v \ /( _ )\ ^ ^ In Linux we trust! _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://smtp.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
