We have two LocalTalk networks which are interconnected using a Shiva NetBridge. We have a Cayman Systems GatorBox connected to one network which we use for Ethernet connectivity using NCSA Telnet. Telnet communications on this network works fine. The problem: We cannot communicate from the second network, through the Shiva NetBridge, to the GatorBox using Telnet. It SEEMS as though the NetBridge is not allowing the packets generated by Telnet to pass through it to the other network. Shiva technical support has told us that "anything AppleTalk will pass through". But we could get no clarification on using a product like Telnet. Does anyone have any experience with this? Anyone have any successes? Do you know if Telnet is sending non-AppleTalk packets? or some other format that the NetBridge doesn't like? Any help and/or information will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Tom Gerace tom@rs1.tcs.tulane.edu Tulane Computing Services Tulane University New Orleans, LA USA

I don't think the NetBridge is the problem. We have a similar setup here, except that we use a FastPath 4 instead of a GatorBox and have two NetBridges instead of one. The FastPath is in the middle of the three connected LocalTalk segments. We've had no trouble with either the MacTCP version of Telnet or the older version with built-in drivers from any segment. Perhaps your GatorBox is not configured correctly to pass IP packets? David Gutierrez drg@mdaali.cancer.utexas.edu "Only fools are positive." - Moe Howard

Do you have a different zonename associated with the second network. If you do, you have the fill in the "Zone=" parameter in NCSA telnet config.tel with the zonename where the gatorbox is in (first network). The gatorbox is sending out the IP Address assignment but is is in a different zonename.
