[comp.protocols.appletalk] Kinetics FastPath 4, 4.1 ROMs, KIP0688..

scanner@itsgw.rpi.edu (Eric "Scanner" Luce) (07/10/89)

Dear nettish people,

(my.. sounds like a letter... address.. greeting.. body.. )

Anyways, I have some questions and I hoping that some people out
there might be able to help, or help shed some light, or something.

We have encountered a problem with ROM rev level 4.1 in Kinetic's
FastPath-4's.  We are running KIP0688, ddp socket range starting
at 200.

It seems that we can see into other zones fine. And other zones
can see in the LocalTalk zone behind the kinetics just fine also. 

But things in the LocalTalk zone behind the kinetics can't see
things in their own zone.. 

We don't have this problem in any other rom rev level FP.
(Including the FP-1 with serial #577 (which seems to work best of
the lot))

Exact same load file. Exact same entry in atalkatab. The only
difference in the boot file is the ethernet address. And when we
change that for different working boxes it behaves correctly still.

Any help out there?

(please e-mail replies, so as not to waste net.bandwidth, I can
summarize if there is interest, or something (or just provide a
document available via anon. ftp, or something))
