It sounds like some of your ports are getting blocked in the routers
between sites. Ask your upstream provider if by default they have their
routers blocking IP traffic on certain ports. You could also be
suffering from router redirects - when a router in the traffic path
doesn't see data from a source for a period of time it starts dumping
the traffic that comes in later, considering it garbage.

We have just gone over to a private ip network via adsl links, from
being on a frame relay(bridged - mixture of nextworked and serial
printers). For a few weeks we were ok, but lately I am seeing printers
giving IPRECCV \messages, losing the spooler, and going unresponsive. I
can ping them, and reach them with web browser, but the spooler cant
see them , cant print anything. Stopping and starting spooler, abortio
until none left, nothing helps. Only thing that works is to change the
IP address....These are a mix of 1200, 2300, lj5, so its not model
specific. They are all default configs - syslog max=10,syslog
pri=7,idle timeout=270,ttl/slp=4, but WINS data or syslog server.

My network provider is saying talk to HP, not our problem....

anybody BTDT please? Getting hard to keep up with it - 3 different
sites in quick sucession this morning... DO I need more network, config
change? Console only shows the spooler error - connection terminated by
something. Where can I get more detailed info?

TIA,
jp
