I recently connected a 486/33 Compaq PC to our EtherTalk network using 3Com's
3C503 NIC and AppleShare PC 2.0.1.  The file server is a Mac SE/30 running
AppleShare, with an Asante Ethernet card and Phase 2 drivers.

This setup works well, and is surprisingly fast. The Compaq can see the server
and the LaserWriters which are really services offered by LaserShare, which is
also running on the server.

The problem is, nothing on the network can see the compaq. I ran InterPoll on
another SE/30 running the same card and drivers as the server, but I couldn't
see the Compaq. On the other hand, we also have a bunch of Macs and PCs on
LocalTalk, connected to out server (which is also running Apple's Internet
Router), and the SE/30 running InterPoll can see the localtalk PCs just fine.

I'm pretty sure this is a Phase1/Phase2 issue. But I can't imagine what it
is. The router is already routing between phases 1 and 2, since the etalk
Macs can talk to the ltalk macs without trouble. The Enet PC must be a Phase
2 node, since that's all that AppleShare PC supports with enet.

Any ideas?
