What are the *exact* symptoms of this hardware problem?

Right now, I'm having a problem with our FastPath 4 where "atlook"
from a Unix host would just list the FastPath gateway but not
all the printers on the Appletalk network. The CAP spooler just
hangs because it can't connect to the printers. I can fix this
by printing anything from a Macintosh connected to that same
Appletalk network. As soon as I print something from the Mac,
"atlook" displays all the printers and the CAP spooler resumes
working. This happens anywhere from once to 5 times a day.

Has anyone seen this behavior before?
