- Hi,
-
- If you LOAD ATCON.NLM at the NetWare for Macintosh file server and use the
- LOOKUP SERVICE, you will find that the NW4MAC stack router is called
- "NetWare Router." Both INTERPOLL (Apple) and MACPING (Dartmouth College)
- also return the name "NetWare Router." I am not sure why the utility you
- were using returned the "UNKNOWN" names for the NW4MAC routers. Is it possible
- that the display field is not large enough to contain the long "NetWare Router"
- name? What ever the cause of this, you can use other utilities like ATCON.NLM
- to get information about your network. There is no need (nor support) for
- attaching a name parameter to the LOAD APPLETLK command line.
-
- I hope this information helps...
-
- Think Peace...
