Howdy folks,

I have been having trouble installing a PCrouter
between a Mac subdomain on localtalk, and Ethernet on
the 'other side'.  The setup is as follows:

*********************************************
*  Mac *        * PC *             *  SUN   *
********        ******             **********
  (localtalk)            (ethernet)

  MacTCP       PCrouter             TCP/IP, NFS
NCSA Telnet

The PC has both a TOPS card in it, and a WD ethernet card.
The PC is (theoretically at least) a dedicated router.
Here is the curious part: I can successfully ping from
the SUN to the IP addresses of both cards in the (PC) router
-both are alive...but I cannot reach the SUN from the Mac.
I suspect there may be a problem with my installation of the
PCrouter software.  Does anyone have ideas on what I may
be overlooking here?  Lack of good diagnostics from the
localtalk side going towards the SUN has brought me to a
standstill. 

The Mac is a Mac IIci, the PC is a clone XT, and the
SUN is a 4/470.

Thanks for any and all help!
