- I ran into this problem when trying to communicate with an RT through
- a WellFleet router.
-
- What happens is that the Token Ring card in the RT drops packets
- sent to it with a MAC address begining with 000. . .
-
- I was told that this was fixed with later versions of the microcode.
- Does anyone have the updated microcode and would it be possible to down
- load it into the card?
-
- Changing the MAC address on the router doesn't work, because it generates
- its own MAC addr. when IPX routing is enabled.
-
- Thanx,
