WL> I hate to be nitpicky, but that is not a router. That's a repeater.
WL> There is a difference (a very big difference).
Yeah, I know. But sometimes there are slips :-)
WL> Are there any IP devices on any of the 10-base-2 segments? Can they
WL> see the Sun?
Yes, there are, and they can see the sun.
WL> Did you use a conventional AUI cable to connect the sun to the repeater?
No, the Transceiver is hooked directly to the AUI-Port. There is a
crossed TP cable from the transceiver to the sun.
WL> The lone AUI port has me suspicious:
WL> are you sure it is supposed to be used for a host connection and not
WL> as a link in to another repeater?
Thats the question that accoured to me, too. But ... will this port not
pass every frame from the other ports to another machine, if it is a
repeater or the sun? Or will it pass IP-Frames only? The difference
is not completely clear to me.
WL> Alternatively, 10-base-2 transceivers are pretty cheap. See if you
WL> can buy, beg, borrow, or steal one and get the Sun hooked in to one of
WL> the 10-base-2 segments. Then see if your problems go away.
Yes, thats the next test. But Mail is even cheaper than a 10-base-2
transceiver ;-)
