The main reason you have to convert even if it an ethernet interface is that
DLSW uses only non-cononical format. As you can see when you plug your
laptop in using ethernet, dlsw automatically converts it non-cononical..
Hope this helps,
Robert

Curtis,
I tried what you suggested, and it worked like a champ! Thanks for the
help. I
must have goofed when manually figuring out the non-can version of the
hosts' mac.
I am still somewhat confused by the fact that I'm still required to convert
the
mac address to non-canonical form with the current setup described
(ethernet-to-ethernet).
I was under the impression that the only time I had to convert was when
going
from ethernet to token ring.
Curtis, can you or anyone else shed some light on this?
Thanks again,
Cory

The arp cache will show the ethernet address in Can form.
You need to use the address as it appears in the dlsw reachability cache.
Do a show DLSW reach local on the router with the host attached and filter
with that address.
