Hi folkes,
I have run in a problem I cannot solve, so perhapes someone here might
suggest a solution.
Before ich describe the problem, I will give you a quick overview over auch
environment, because I supect the router to be the problem.
We run a little LAN wich is chopped into chunks of 10base2 Ethernet. The
chunks are connecte via a router.
Router: ATI CentreCOM 3008SL IEE802.3 8 Port Repeater
(+ ATI CentreCOM 210ST TwistedPair-Transceiver)
Host: SUN SPARCStation 5
running Linux 2.0.30, RedHat-Distribution 4.2
Netatalk V1.4b2 orig with a fix of my own.
In addition to the 8 Ethernet-Ports (RG58) the Repeater includes an AUI-Port
wich is used to hook the SUN via the TwistedPair-Transceiver. This is done
because the SUN dose not have other Ethernet-Ports than an AUI and a TP and
this was the cheapest solution available.
Problem: Netatalk runs fine, but it cannot find the other MACs on the
net (nbplkup) and vice versa the Macs cannot find the Sun.
The MACs, though they are on different chunks, find the each other
without any problems.
Has someone a suggestion where the problem could be?
cu
Hendrik
