I'm having trouble with PNSendRequest and PGetRequest between two sockets on the same Mac IIcx with System 6.0.5. Here's what happens: PLookupName(...) finds the intended receiver. The address is extracted. PNSendRequest(...) is called, sending to that socket - owned by another application on the same Mac. PGetRequest(...) is called by the other application, then PSendResponse() The problem? This works fine when 1. AppleTalk is active, but no network is connected to the Mac 2. AppleTalk is active, and a simple LocalTalk network is connected This *doesn't* work when 3. AppleTalk is active, and the LocalTalk network is connected both to the Mac and (elsewhere) to an Ethernet backbone, which connects to other LocalTalk networks. In this case, PGetRequest never gets the request, and PNSendRequest returns error reqFailed, "Retry count exceeded". PSendSelf is set to True - I don't think that is the problem. Remember, these requests should never leave the machine in the first place! What's going on? Any help or hints would be greatly appreciated!
