Another problem:

A Mac II running a clean System 6.0.3, and NCSA Telnet 2.3.
It was fine yesterday.  Telnet's "Show Network Numbers..." shows that
my Internet number is ok, I have an AppleTalk node, but- my AppleTalk
Net is 0 (should be 1).  LanRanger's echo command shows no problem, but
the strange thing is that the echo works with the Net # set to 0 or 1 
(same node #).  I can't ping the Mac from the Ethernet side.  
The chooser shows Appletalk is active- BUT doesn't show my 2 AppleTalk zones.  
I don't even get the AppleTalk Zone window in the Chooser.

The software and external hardware are ok- I verified by swapping CPU's and
the replacement IIc worked as expected.  I tried zapping PRAM to no avail.
I also toggled power a few times and reconnected the PhoneNet.

It looks to me like I have a hardware problem in this particular Mac II, but
I'm real new to AppleTalk and the FastPath4 but not networking in general.

Any tricks of the trade that I can try to get this thing to recognize that
it's on the net besides the usual "power it off, reconnect, power it on"?

TIA,

p.s. 
Are there any DA's that will report the AppleTalk Net & Node numbers?
