First: A word of thanks to all those who helped me through my sendmail.cf question, and also those who gave me input on my DNS prob. Those two problems are history. The only thing currently holding me up is remote printing. What I have is two RT's one has a printer, the other doesn't. They are not on the same subnet and are in different parts of the building. Both have 8 bit ungerman-bass ethernet cards. I have define my printserver host, added the remote queue to the host that does not have the printer (so it knows to print elsewhere), and added the host to my printservers host.lpd. It almost works....I use 'print rp0 /etc/qconfig' as my test and it cause a new lpd daemon to start, but then it just hangs there and 10 mins later I get an error on the printserver saying that the lpd lost it's connection. I get this same message on the printserver if I cancel the job on the remote machine. The only time it works is when I use a very small file. As soon as I get into a big file it does the above. This symptom (now that I think of it) happens when I ftp from RT to RT also....binaries never come through and only small text files will, no large text files come through at all. FTP to other sites work fine. So if anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate your insight. Thanks in advance, Aaron
