Are the shared printers in the 192.168.0/24 subnet? Are they
connected to workstation that get their IP through DHCP? What are you
using for workstation name resolution? What are you using for a port
type on the windows machines, \\workstation\printer?
is it DSL<-->firewall<--> workstations&printers?
Looks to me like it is a name resolution thing. Your DNS servers are
outside your subnet and probably doesn't know what is in your network.
Yes, I would agree, if you are printing to shares, \\workstation\printer.
You may need to run a WINS server. or create an lmhosts file on each box.
Answer these questions and I can probably give you some ideas.
Cheers,
Rick
