We are having some problems with appletalk thru our routers. We are unable to see appleshare servers thru the routers. We are also unable to see other devices on our own physical network if we use "NET USER" from the chooser. We can see all devices, appleshare servers included, if we use checknet or interpoll. I have captured the packets on our Lanalyzer and found the only difference to be in the NBP part of the packet. For applications that work the actual zone name is listed, for those that do not work an asterisk is used in place of the zone name. I have been told that the asterisk is a legal substitute to indicate the zone you are in. When the router receives a lookup with the real zone name in it it immediately re-broadcasts that lookup, when it receives the asterisk instead of the zone name nothing happens. So my question, is the router in error or are the MACs or am I? We are running GS software 8.0(9) on three AGS/2s all have the same problem. Phil Green Syracuse University
