I need some help and hope the people of netland can help. We have a small MacIIx lab of about 10 here. We also have 5 Hp9000/360 Diskless workstations on thin Ethernet.The HPs use thin and therefore we have to connect the MacIIs and the HPs though the KFP-4 that we have for them. We want to get CAP and AUFS running. We also have an IBM RT on thick ethernet running CAP and AUFS. We have 6 localtalk networks connected to the RT. They are connected to it by KFP-4s. The problem is connecting the two. 1 The workstations have static IP addresses and the MacIIs have dynamic ones. The other net has all dynamic.Can we just have the Mac-Hp net as a subnet of one of the localtalk nets? (obviously through the localtalk side) 2 If we can do 1 then how are the KFPs setup? Is one a slave unit that gets all addressing form the one on the thick Ethernet? Any help, comments, guesses will help. This is not my regular account. I do regularly read this so posting back is fine or e-mail at the address below.
