            bsm2,

            I was so busy playing around with the advanced features in Server 2019, that it never occurred to me that a network needs to be locked down. I got it now, tho. Thanks.

                No worries most of them are not locked down. Usally enterprise size networks , Government, Banks etc....are locked down.

                                Silly question. Why would you want to setup your laptop as a DHCP server?
                                Always had weird issues if there was more than one DHCP server on a network.
                                Whatever

                                        Seems like in this case the OP had no need to connect the laptop directly to the printer.

                                            no he needs to investigate THEIR network print/scan works fine

                                                As always update the FW and set switch 25 accordingly. And as others mentioned play with network speed and TLS, SSL settings.
                                                Try this:
                                                Select Administrator
                                                Select Settings
                                                Select Security Settings
                                                Select Security Details
                                                Select Initialize.
                                                A tree is known by its fruit, a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost, he who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.
                                                Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.

                                                    ...Ping using laptop on same port works with no drops.

                                                    Those two bits of info eliminate the customers network and cable as a problem.

                                                    And that points to the copier NIC. I agree with you about time for a MFP board.

                                                    15% ping drops may not stop a print job but would impact a SSL handshake for email.
