Hi I've been watching this thread, had the same problem on and internal interface. If the interface eth0 is your external , ie connected to the internet ,
why not configure iptables to drop traffic from this print server, but allow replies to your print requests. As you have the MAC address of the print server, allow established packets , but not new, or if its an ipp broadcast just drop the broadcasts. If you using shorewall check the documentation. Just an idea HTH Richard On Fri, 2003-07-04 at 03:00, Greg Meyer wrote: > I am still having trouble with martians.
