We are having problems with one of our small LocalTalk networks.  This network
consist of 5 Mac IIs daisy chained together with 3 printers.  It looks like the
following:
 
     ___   ___   ___   ___   ___   ___   ___   ___
    | 1 | | 2 | | 3 | | 4 | | 5 | | 6 | | 7 | | 8 |
    |   |_|   |_|   |_|   |_|   |_|   |_|   |_|   |
    |___| |___| |___| |___| |___| |___| |___| |___|
 
1   Printer
2-4 Mac IIs
5   FileServer
6-7 Printers
8   Mac II
 
Mac II #8 is the problem Mac.  It can see all devices on the network except #5
the fileserver (a IIx with seperate folders published via TOPS).  All other
Macs can see each other and the problem Mac (#8).
 
We tested with InterPoll and Mac #8 cannot see Mac #5 by this method either.
All the obvious solutions have been attempted: replacing PhoneNet boxs, cables
etc...
 
The fileserver does not have a monitor so we are not positive that it can see
Mac #8.
 
Help!
