Hi there. I have a printer on a 2k machine that I'd like to share with Window 2000's IPP. The problem I'm running into is that if I connect to the server via localhost/printers/, I can see all the printers on the machine. If I connect to it from the outside (eg: 216.x.x.x/printers, I get the printers list page but it doesn't show any of the printers. If I connect to the printer directing using it's URL, I get a login prompt for the printer (this is good). I punch in the credentials and I get an error saying that the printer is not available because it may have been disconnected from the computer.

Any ideas? Anyone? I'm desperate here and can't find any info anywhere on this!!
