We have encountered an ethernet configuration problem that we cannot find in
any of the books and our local (DEC) network specialist is unable to shed any
light on. If anyone has an answer, I would appreciate a direct reply as
I am not on this list.
We have a DESPR (DIGITAL's thinwire repeater) attached to a DELNI which is
attached to a thickwire coax (<300m) via an H4000 tranceiver. Thinwire devices
on the DESPR segment and thickwire devices on the DELNI can see the rest of the
network, but not each other. At first we thought this to be a communications
problem between a Silicon Graphics and Sun TCP/IP, but then it happened again
in another location with equipment from Western Digital, MIPS, Xyplex and DEC,
so I guess there is something basically wrong with the configuration. If any-
one has the answer, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Enabling the Heart Beat sinal of the Transciver (H4000) might solve the problem.
