Since then I have received a few suggestions, but still couldn't solve my problem until yesterday. I have discovered that there were other zones beside the 'systems Network' that I can mount my SUN disk without any problems. So, I compared two networks (zones). Difference was one has Shiva telebridges as a part of the network, and the others don't. Since I have an extra FP/4, I set up a dedicated FP/4 for all the telebridges. Now, everything is working perfect. I don't know exactly why it didn't work if there were telebridges on the network, but at least it's working now. Thanks everyone, especially those people who emailed me their suggestions. Kenji Ogura kogura@ub.d.umn.edu

On an Appleshare file server the lack of tickle packets seems to be ignored and the connection is maintained but under aufs the connection is dropped after two minutes (as the spec says it should be). I am talking to the local distributor here in Australia in order to tind out if it is me that has misconfigured the telebridge or if there is a real problem. I will post again once I find out. >> I Have installed a RU-CAP2 recently on my SUN sparc IPC running SUN OS 4.1.0 >> with eight FP/4 running K-start 8.0.1. >> I can spool from my IPC to Laserwriters on Appletalk with no problem. >> However, I have a problem with an Appleshare (Aufs) part of the CAP. >> The SUN sits on an appletalk zone called 'systems Network'.
