[comp.protocols.appletalk] NCSA Telnet through an Interbridge

DEMARSEE@SUVM.BITNET (Darryl E. Marsee) (01/15/88)

HELP!  I'm having trouble TELNETing out of my AppleTalk to the Internet.

The hardware configuration:

  Ethernet connected to Kinetics Box running KIPs
  PhoneNet connecting Kinetics Box to Hayes InterBridge A1 port
           (NET number  6, ZONE name MAC-NET)
  PhoneNet connecting Mac SE to Hayes InterBridge AppleTalk A2 port
           (NET number 13, ZONE name MAC-NET)

The software configuration:

  Mac SE running NCSA Telnet 2.1
  TOPS running on both networks
  Config.tel file has an entry for the Kinetics Box with an IP
           subnet address of 6 and a gateway=1 parameter.

Now to the problem:

The Mac SE on NET 13 can go through the InterBridge to use NET 6's
printers and hard disks (via TOPS).  So far, so good.  However, when I
try to use NCSA TELNET 2.1 (using an IP subnet address of 13), I get a
"Local host or gateway not responding" message.  Now if I move the Mac
SE over to NET 6 (thus bypassing the InterBridge) and try TELNETing
again (using an IP subnet address of 6), it works fine.  So, it looks
like I can't get the Mac SE on NET 13 and the Kinetic box on NET 6 to
communicate.  Moving the Mac back to NET 13, I've tried TELNETing using
an IP subnet address of 6 (no luck), and also tried changing the
config.tel file to give the Kinetics box an IP subnet address of 13
(ditto previous luck).  The Kinetics box cannot be moved from NET 6 to
NET 13, and the Mac SE needs to stay on NET 13 and not on NET 6.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Many Thanks & Regards,
