We have an appletalk network set up in a passive star configuration.  It
presently has about ten branches.  But here is the problem.  One of the
computers on the network is a CX.  The connection was working fine for a
while, and then after installing Shiva software, the file server and the
laserwriters on the network couldn't be seen.  I then brought an SE/30
up to that office and hooked it up and everything worked fine.  The
ports on the CX were checked and they are working fine.  I have no idea
what is causing the CX to have problems.  

The first thing I will do is get the network back into specs be making
it have only six branches, but I don't know why it would be working
before and then not work.  And then, only the CX doesn't work.  

Any ideas?
