       I'm switching between dialup so I can get to the racks, and my
   cable modem to send mail. I sent Kevin a response but I don't know if
   it got out, so I'll try again.
       I disabled RTMP split horizon on the hub sub, and now the pings
   work. Why would a routing issue involving split horizon prevent nodes
   on the same cable range from communicating? Both spokes see the hub as
   a neighbor, and if I do a show appletalk route 500, which is the cable
   range and zone that all three share, its there. The frame (layer 2 to
   layer 3)mappings are there.
       In an IP environment, all that would be needed is the layer 3 to
   layer 2 mappings if they were on the same network. Even if you had rip
   on there, it wouldn't make a difference cause it is directly
   connected.
       Obviously, I can't apply that logic to AT. What am I missing? Its
   working but I don't understand why.

       Hi all. Still bangin away here, and have run up against another
   wall. I've got a hub and two spoke routers running frame. I have IP
   enabled on all. The hub has a map to each spoke, and the spokes have a
   map to the hub and the other spoke. Everyone can ping everyone and
   life is good. Interface is multipoint and they are all on the same
   net. It is also a sub-interface.
   
       Now enter appletalk. I bascially configured appletalk the same
   way. The hub has a mapping to both spokes, and the spokes have a
   mapping to the hub and the other spoke. They are all on the same
   cable-range and zone, differnt nodes. The hub sees both spokes, and
   can AT ping both spokes. The hub can also see other zones off
   ethernets on the spokes. The spokes can AT ping the hub, but not the
   other spoke. I've checked the mapping and they are there. I've
   debugged appletalk packet, but am having trouble deciphering it.
   
       I was expecting AT to work basically like IP over the frame, but
   not ever doing AT, is their a gotcha I don't know about?
   
   I'm continuing to search, but have been stuck on this for about 2
   hours now. Have all the books out but haven't seen anything yet.
   
       Thanks!
