- I'm not sure I understand your setup completely, but basically
- my understanding is that you can boot a node of any node on
- your ATR network, regardless of the media you're using (ethernet
- or coax or...)
-
- are you really running the 425t with *token ring* on the ethernet
- and token ring on the ring interface ? In other words, if you
- type 'lcnet', do you see two distinct networks (one for eth and
- one for the token ring) ?
