First, you'd need a route to 192.168.1.0/24 via whatever the IP is of the router. Which is why it should be a fixed IP. Then, it may not be necessary to have the route on all systems if you set up this one system as a print server for all systems on the 192.168.0.0/24 LAN segment. -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
