so the remote office has one remote IP and its own firewall?  Do you =
have the remote office setup as a subnet?  You could then just give the =
new printer an ip of that subnet and set a route on your firewall.  What =
kind of firewall are you using?

Subject: [THIN] Multiple printers with thin clients


Using NAT, I have a remote office with only thin clients and a network =
printer (not physically connected to the thinclient) who connect to a mf =
xp fr2 server farm across the wan.  Their print traffic gets redirected =
back to the printer at the remote office fine.  My problem is, there is =
going to be more than one printer at this remote office.  I'll need to =
distinguish which printer the print job gets redirected to.  How will I =
do this with only one external IP assigned to the remote office?  For =
the one printer I just have the firewall map the port its connecting on =
to the internal IP of the printer.  Unless there is a way to change =
printer port numbers for the additional printers, how is this going to =
be possible when I just have the one external IP assigned to me?  =
Netbios sharing isn't an option because those ports are blocked by my =
ISP.
