Hi All! I need some help... I'm trying to create a bridge with an old AT with 1664K of RAM. The bridge will serve our appletalk printers that are now hooked to the server. I genned the bridge.exe and run it on the AT. The 3 Mac VAPs run, then a message - 'waiting for router information...' appears and nothing happens. Any clues? The manuals are extreemly bad on this process... Thanks! Declan J. Fleming

I'm not surprised, it's not obvious at all, and the manuals don't mention it. I only know this because I did the same thing myself and had to get Novell to help me clear it up. 1) Make sure LAN A is the LAN with your server, and LAN B is AppleTalk. If you get them backwards, the bridge will look for your server over AppleTalk. 2) Make sure your net addresses are correct and non conflicting. If you got no errors before Waiting for router information... you probably did this right. Basically, each LAN ID must be unique and each device on the same LAN must have the same ID. Makes you wonder how Novell remains in business. _emt
