Hello Sluggers,
Annoying event:
Last week a perfectly good Fedora Core 3 install went South. The system
lost the connection with the network shared printer.

The print config dialog box took ten min. to come up. Each mouse click
took ten min. to take. After two hour of messing, it still failed to
find the network shared printer.

And...
Then the logout dialog box took 10 min to come up also. Do these two
have anything in common?

Browser connects to Internet and local net fine.
Local net and Internet pings fine.
nmap from ailing box shows printer port open on shared printer
no errors in logs -that I find so far

Trials:
Re-install FC3 x2 - same behavior
Install FC4 - same behavior
Tried Linspire 5.0 Live CD - print dialogs work but print config fails.

Changed memory - same behavior
Changed power supply: 240 watt to a mew 350 watt - same behavior

What to do next before I buy a new MOBO? --John
