Re: localhost:631 page load error
Nice one Detonate! If that works, does it mean that his DNS is shot somehow?

Re: localhost:631 page load error
Check your /etc/hosts file to make sure localhost 127.0.0.1 is in there. If not edit an include it.Comment

Re: localhost:631 page load error
Detonate, I tried that link. Same problem.
/etc/hosts shows 127.0.0.1 just as it should.
Guys, I am really hating Intrepid. And I want so much to like it because other than this issue, it's great. But a computer is nothing without a printer.Comment

Re: localhost:631 page load error
Only thing I can think of, is that port 631 is not open.
Open a terminal and run:
nmap 127.0.0.1
If you get an error that namap is not installed, install it then run the command.
Post the results.Comment

Re: localhost:631 page load error
From the Live CD (which works):
Starting Nmap 4.62 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2008-12-21 20:38 AKST
Interesting ports on localhost (127.0.0.1):
Not shown: 1713 closed ports
PORT STATE SERVICE
25/tcp open smtp
631/tcp open ipp
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.229 seconds
It appears that the issue is with the closed port 631. Do you know how to open it?

Re: localhost:631 page load error
Just as I suspected. Port 631 is not listening. I can't remember the exact command we need to fix that of the top of my head. anyone else? If you don't find a solution before tomorrow morning I will do some research. One easy way to fix it is by using firestarter. Past this old man's bedtime tonight.

Re: localhost:631 page load error
Great work, Detonate! Comes from being on a number of building sites at the same time
As for opening a port, netcat? From man netcat:
ThereforeNAME
nc - TCP/IP swiss army knife
.
.
.
-l listen mode, for inbound connectsshould do it.Code:nc -l 631

Re: localhost:631 page load error
Maybe it has to be:
Code:sudo nc -l 631

Re: localhost:631 page load error
It's easy to do with firestarter. I don't use firestarter as a firewall, but it makes port management simple. Click on the "Policy" tab, right click in the "Allow Service" Area, select "Add Rule" enter 631 in the "Port" field, click add.

Re: localhost:631 page load error
I'm in the root account so it should work with or without sudo. I will try firestarter when I get home. Thanks for the advice.Originally posted by DetonateComment

Re: localhost:631 page load error
Also take a look at your /etc/services file and see if the following entries are present:
ipp 631/tcp # Internet Printing Protocol
ipp 631/udp
If they are not there, edit the file (requires root access) and ad them. Probably have to restart the system to make it work.Comment

Re: localhost:631 page load error
Or instead of restarting the system a
should do the trickCode:sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
