I have a similar sort of problem, but with K-Star replacing the traditional
Kinetics IP subnetting approach. I run the simplest possible K-Star
configuration: LoaclTalk side Net 36 on a distinct zone, Ethernet side
Net 1 called Ethernet (original, eh?), FP IP address 128.141.30.36,
no Administrator, name server on 128.141.200.5, 32 static addresses,
no options. I can see other zones happily in the chooser, and they can
see me. However, when I try to use either NCSA telnet or TCPort telnet
(with IP address 128.141.36.1) I never see any packet go out on the
Ethernet (verified on the Lanalyzer). Downloading the FP gives in the
diagnostics box the message that IP routing is off: funny, but I don't
see any option to turn it on. Having read the documentation three times,
I am still unsure how the FP ought to decide what IP addresses it is
meant to serve on its own LocalTalk.

I have that worrying feeling about missing something obvious, but am now
at the stage that I don't care if people think I am stupid.

ps. am also trying to make a gatorbox work, with about as much success.
This is obviously not my month!

pps. we don't use subnetting, so IP subnet Mask is put as 0.0.0.0, as
is broadcast address
