We are attempting to set up an appletalk network with PCroute as a gateway to the rest of our network. Macs running MacTCP have no problem using the gateway, but a PC using NCSA Telnet 2.3b14, an Apple Localtalk card, and the atalk driver doesn't make it. I'm much more of a TCP person than an appletalk person, but it appears the PC is using NBP to look for an IPGATEWAY on the network, but the PCrouter doesn't register itself as such. Using a fastpath works fine. Has anyone: a. Altered the ATALK module of PCroute to register itself as an IPGATEWAY? ( correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like this would take some doing; it looks like the PCrouter would have to act like a Fastpath (or friends) in providing dynamic number allocation, registration of static IP's, and nameserver addresses.) b. Altered the atalk driver in NCSA Telnet to work without an IPGATEWAY on the network? I don't know how much of a challenge this would be, since I don't know how MacTCP works over localtalk. (Feel free to enlighten me.) Thanks for any info. Evan Rosser erosser@eagle.wesleyan.edu
