Check to see if your firewall settings in the Sharing prefs are set to allow
access to those ports...

Gonna go on the edge of the limb here:

Sounds to me like a netmask issue.

What are the subnets for the two sides of this puzzle?

Wireless printing problem ...

[Bryan Forbes]

Hi:

Hoping someone has been down this route ...

I have the following hardware setup ... Titanium 667 Powerbook running 
OS 10.2.3
Asante FriendlyNET AeroLAN PDMCIA Card - AL1011
Asante FriendlyNET Wireless Rounter - FR3202AL-1PCM

I can printer when hooked up via ethernet to an Apple Laser Select 360, 
but when I try wireless it won't go through.  The error messages I get 
are that "printer isn't responding" or that "appletalk isn't active".

I've worked with both Apple and Asante in the past and they did a 
pretty good job of pointing the finger at each other.

However, after waiting several months I called Apple back and a rep. 
was very friendly and helpful in troubleshooting what might be going 
on.  After going through a number of troubleshooting procedures we 
believe we are on to something.  He thinks that these two ports aren't 
open (or at least one of them isn't open).  Port# 548 and port# 427.  
He thinks that the Appletalk signal is being sent out to the printer, 
but the powerbook isn't being replied to by the printer because of a 
blocked port.

Has anybody went through the process of "unblocking a port" or at least 
checking to see if one or the other is closed?

Although I was real comfortable with tinkering around OS 9, some of the 
OS X stuff has me at a loss ... would appreciate assistance from anyone 
familiar with this.

Happy Holidays!
