Hi, I am trying to get Macs that are connected via a Hayes InterBridge to have IP service from a K-box. Here is the topology: Mac ----- Hayes-Bridge ---- K-box =============== K-box ZoneA ZoneB ZoneA ----- AppleTalk ===== Ethernet Would the Mac in this picture be able to get tcp/ip service (eg run ncsa telnet) if it were in the same zone as its nearest K-box? Is it even possible to get tcp/ip service across a bridge at all? Does it make a difference whether the K-boxes are FP-3, FP-4, or mixed? (We have some flexibility on this.) Many thanks to anyone who can respond. Samuel Asher University of Rochester

My immediate response would be yes, it should. If the Hayes Interbridge is a zone "transparent" bridge (ie. does not create a new zone) I don't see why it wouldn't work. NCSA Telnet should be sending appletalk encapsulated TCP/IP packets, which look just like appletalk packets to the Internet bridge. The Hayes Interbridge should just route them to the K-box. <General disclaimer: Just another programmer/engineer/student rambling and trying to learn a thing or two...> Patrick Gaughan Programmer of Gor pgaughan@nmsu.edu New Mexico State University (I in no way represent the above institution...)

If the Macintosh is in zone B, then you can use either KIP or K-Star, to get
TCP/IP service. i.e., the k-box is in the same zone.
If the mac is in zone A, then you need K-Star.
I think.
