Hi there, I have a vpn between 4 sites with PiX501's on 3 of the sites and a PiX506e on the main site which are governing all IPSec and other vpn protocols. All individual LAN's have their own internal subnets:
LAN 1: 192.168.0.
LAN 2: 192.168.1.
LAN 3: 192.168.2.
LAN 4: 192.168.3.*
This LAN has the primary WINS Server which all devices look at for naming!
All 4 sites have a Windows NT4.0 PDC with DHCP Server. The DHCP dishes out the Gateway for the respective LAN and also the IP of the Primary WINS and the node Type (H node)
All LAN's can ping workstations and servers on all other LAN's. The problem is with the printers!- which I cannot even ping! (Request Timed Out!) These network printers are Fiery printers each with a static IP relevant to the internal IP range on their LAN. We need to be able to send a print job from workstations on one LAN to the IP printers on, say , another LAN. I could go through the server on the LAN with the relevant printer but I don't really want to do that.
I want to be able to print direct to the IP address of the printer on another LAN over LPR. (PS. Printing internally on LAN'S is over LPR).
How can I resolve this? The only thing I can think of doing is to configure IP settings on some printers to obtain the IP dynamically and then maybe reserve the mappings in the relevant DHCP databases! That's fine for some of the more modern printers who can automatically obtain the IP from a DHCP server but some of them can only have static!
Surely it must be something to do with the node type of the Fiery network boards?
Any help would be much appreciated. I'm going bald over this.
