can ping without firewall; no port 631

Well, since I wrote the below, I've learned a little more about Samba, and got them to at least acknowledge each other. Still can't use Gaurd dog. Still cant print from one to the other.
I'm learning I'm learning


I recently installed mepis 7 on both my laptop and laptop. (I came from Mepis 6.5). since the change I can't get these computers to recognize each others existence, except to be able to ping from one to the other if the firewall (Gaurdog) is off. And I can't discover that port 631 (I believe that is the port for the print server) is open. I don't really know how to find out, or how to open it if it is closed.Smilie

Laptop is Amd-64 with a 32bit distro. Desktop is Compaq Presario AMD64 with 32bit distro.

I'm still quite a nuB, so if I haven't given enuf info here, please tell me what you need to know and (hopefully) how I can find out.

. Thanks, Sonshyne5

NAME
arno-iptables-firewall - Single- & multi-homed firewall script with DSL/ADSL support. SYNOPSIS
/etc/init.d/arno-iptables-firewall [start|stop|status|force-reload|restart] DESCRIPTION
arno-iptables-firewall is an iptables configuration script with support for both IPv4 & IPv6. While it is extremely easy to use one can nevertheless use it in quite complicated environments. All available options are explained in the extensively documented configuration file. The external interface of the system needs to be set up properly in the firewalls configuration file (EXT_IF). The default behavior of the firewall is to deny all incoming connections. For additional requirements not covered by the configuration file custom iptables rules can be placed in /etc/arno-iptables-firewall/cus- tom-rules. This file is automatically parsed by the service script. See the README file (eg. in /usr/(local/)share/doc/arno-iptables-firewall) for an example how to manage logging of firewall events through syslogd. The arno-fwfilter script can be used to make the firewall logs more readable for humans (see manpage). Several plugins for the firewall script are available online. Plugins can be downloaded from http://rocky.eld.leidenuniv.nl/ Please see the README file for more information. FILES
