Re: ipconfig waitall > /dev/null 2>&1 is doing exactly what?

Justin:

Yes, my system is set to "-AUTOMATIC-". So, I suppose I need to set up a
domain file which points to my printer with a custom IP address. I'm a
novice at this, so is it as simple as follwing the some of the points put
forth here: http://www.afp548.com/Articles/system/dns.html. Can I create my
printer as something as simple as 127.0.0.20? And put that in a named.conf
file? Or is there an easier way?

Thanks,

Bill
