WAN

WAN

Use this configuration to log printers across a WAN (or the internet which is just a big WAN). The thing you need to remember here is that the logging clients can only detect logging servers on the same LAN as them. ( This is just how networks work), so you need to tell the client where the remote server is. You can do this by selecting File/Add remote servers in the client configuration program and adding the servers IP address or hostname. When you next do a server lookup, the remote servers virtual printers should be displayed. ( you may need to do a server refresh if your WAN link is slow)

There are other issues that apply to logging printers across the internet. (Not the least being port blocking) See the FAQ section for more information.
