Sean,
You are very sharp. I can't imagine how you remembered that. I'm a little
careless with token ring even tho I have 4 MAU's. I'm normally not
transporting any traffic with them, but for 1 scenario, I had to connect
them together. Was a while ago and I'd forgotten.
Makes sense and I didn't even think of it. Typical of me trying to figure
out how I'd config'ed a feature incorrectly. Usually, I'm the one telling
people to always check physical stuff first. Ouch..
Thanks !! Gregg
