Listen Examples Listen 127.0.0.1:631 Listen 192.0.2.1:631 Listen [::1]:631 Listen *:631 Description The Listen directive specifies a network address and port to listen for connections. Multiple Listen directives can be provided to listen on multiple addresses. The server listens *on* one or more interfaces. Each interface has a single network address. 192.168.1.0/24 isn't a single network address. > if i load in the above url using links it seems to automatically put > itself in the background (?) > > > What version of Debian are you using and what is the output of > > squeeze > > lol. first time i've checked in forever. > > i tried to tell you. once it works your golden!! > > well hell. i'd hate to upgrade. i really don't need to, unless for > some reason cups on squeeze is having some trouble.
