Hi Netlanders,

we have a little problem to solve.

We are using the cisco box for novell routing via X.25; we also
use an internal bridge in one fileserver as router between 
Netware 2.15/3.1 and Netware VMS. This has to be routed, since our
PC's and Servers are talking 802.3 and the VAXes are talking Ethernet II.

The cisco is on the same part of the network, as the PC-servers are and
is causing the error msg 
"Router configuration error: <VAX> is claiming LAN A is 00000002"
but there is no VAX on this part of the network. 
This error msg only occurs, when the cisco is on the network and the
ethernet interface has NOT the same novell-net-number as the VAXes.

The topology is as below:

		net 00000002
   *******************************************************
	*		|			|	  
	*MAC-LvlBrdg	|			|
      =====		|			|
	*		| (LAN B)	   -----------
	*(LAN A) ------------ 		  | NW-VMS Vax|
	*-------| 2.15 Server|		   -----------
	*     	 ------------
	*
	*	 -------
	*-------| cisco |
	*	 -------
   net 00000001


This seems to be an error in the routing function of the cisco.

The manual says, that we could exchange the internal bridge for
the cisco, since the cisco can talk Eth II on one port and 802.3
on the other.
But there is also tcp/ip on net 00000002, and we are using the 
cisco for ip routing also.

Is there somebody who can help us?
cisco, are you listening?
