Greetings... I have three NeXTs and two D.G Aviions networked 
together.  Initially, I didn't have netinfo running.  I could send
mail from the NeXTs to the D.G.s no problem and also NeXTmail 
between the NeXTs.  Then I hooked up a HP Laserjet IIP and found
that
I couldn't print remotely unless I had netinfo running and a netinfo
server.  So I configured my NeXT as the server and the printer works
fine both remotely and locally.  BUT now I can't recieve mail from
ANYBODY! If I send mail to myself it just dissapears (ie, it isn't
even returned to the sender with some error message). I tried
setting up my machine as the mail server too but that didn't change
anything.

Obviously I'm rather ignorant of networking in general and netinfo
specifically.  I could really use some help other than NeXTs 
somewhat cryptic (to me, anyway) sysadmin book that comes with the
computers.   Thanks in advance!

-Brad
