[comp.dcom.lans] Routing problem?

Routing problem:

I have a 3Com CS200 terminal server on a subnet on the other side of
an Auspex. This terminal server has one of it's port assigned an ip number
for a real-time machine attached to it.
 
If I am on the Auspex, I can telnet to 131.195.4.110 and it works, the
job is being done by the CS200. But if I am on any other machines on my
main backbone, I can't reach 131.195.4.110 with a telnet.

All other machines (mainly Sun) on the backbone and on the small
subnet can of course talk together without problems. All the Sun on
the subnet 131.195.4 can reach the Real-Time Machine at 131.195.4.110.

I am running in.routed in the Auspex

In the Auspex, I have the this Routing tables

127.0.0.1            127.0.0.1

131.195.4.0          131.195.4.1 

Where is the problem?

With the help of Jeremy A. Siegel (jzs@ktaadn.ESD.3Com.COM) at 3Com and
Linda Bridwell at Auspex (cat@auspex.com) the problem was found.

Once you set up the default gateway address in the CS200 to point to
the 131.195.4.1 of the Auspex, you have to issue a ZeroArp command to the
CS200 to clear the old routes in the memory of the CS200.

Thank you very much for the great help!

Clement.
