Description of problem: After complete configuration of ncp printer in "Red Hat Printer Config" and reboot, printing does not work. The cause is that IPX is not configured in /etc/sysconfig/network How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. New printer, ncp queue 2. reboot 3. try to print Additional info: There shall be following entries added to /etc/sysconfig/network file: IPX="yes" IPXINTERNALNETNUM="0" IPXINTERNALNODENUM="0" IPXAUTOPRIMARY="on" IPXAUTOFRAME="on" BTW, nowhere in the documentation (pdf guides) is mentioned how to do it, instructions are only in /usr/share/doc/initscripts-6.95/sysconfig.txt file.
Harald: I don't want to interfere with any redhat-config-network settings. What's the best way to fix this?
twaugh, no problem, just set these ipx parameters... r-c-n uses the native files, so unless the user has profiles, it should work. BUT, who uses IPX ???
forgot the smiley after the last question ;-)
Okay, I'll do that. Thanks.
