We are having problems with one of our small LocalTalk networks. This network
consist of 5 Mac IIs daisy chained together with 3 printers. It looks like the
following:
___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
| 1 | | 2 | | 3 | | 4 | | 5 | | 6 | | 7 | | 8 |
| |_| |_| |_| |_| |_| |_| |_| |
|___| |___| |___| |___| |___| |___| |___| |___|
1 Printer
2-4 Mac IIs
5 FileServer
6-7 Printers
8 Mac II
Mac II #8 is the problem Mac. It can see all devices on the network except #5
the fileserver (a IIx with seperate folders published via TOPS). All other
Macs can see each other and the problem Mac (#8).
We tested with InterPoll and Mac #8 cannot see Mac #5 by this method either.
All the obvious solutions have been attempted: replacing PhoneNet boxs, cables
etc...
The fileserver does not have a monitor so we are not positive that it can see
Mac #8.
Help!

We have been using TurboNET ST's (made by NuvoTech) lately. They have a very useful feature: diagnostic LED's which indication data transmissions. In addition, they are automatically self-terminating (!) and provide distances up to 5000 feet w/o addition gadgets. They make troubleshooting much easier, and are about the same price as PhoneNET connectors.
