- L&C has several Websters which are behaving strangely. All basic services
- work, but we are not able to assign zones for the backbone ethernet based
- Macintoshes. When we go to the control panel and select network, then
- double click on Ethertalk Phase 2, sometimes a complete list of zones comes
- up (but we cannot select any but the Ethernet backbone) or more often just
- the Ethernet backbone shows, even though we have about 15 more zones that
- should register.
-
- Things we have tried:
-
- o Limiting the network to one Webster configured as Ethernet seed
- with Phase 2
-
- o Assigning all zones to the Backbone Ethernet
-
-
- Probably there is one particular packet type that needs to be suppressed,
- though I feel like I should be able to tell the Webster about the 15 zones that
- live on the Ethernet backbone without telling the gateway to be a seed.
- (Is a no seed network possible?) I understand the need for a default zone,
- but would really like to be able to set the active zone of an ethernet based
- fileserver to any of the localtalk zones.
-
-
- Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
