Can you bridge IP with Translational Bridging?

I wanted to load a ios image to one of my routers with a token ring
interface, but my TFTP server only had ethernet interfaces. I thought I
would try a translational bridge on my ags to connect the two.

Well, I never could get a ping to work across the bridge thought all my
show commands on the ags looked like the bridge was functional.

I understand that DLSW can only circuit switch SNA and Netbios (LLC2),
is it safe to assume that Translational Bridging has the same
limitations?

OTHO, if I'm wrong, is there any special settings needed on a token ring
switch to allow it to work?

My topology was:

(PC)--->EO)(AGS)(To0)---->(Token Switch)--->(To0)(2525)

I could ping from the 2525 to the token switch, but not beyond it. The
PC TFTP server had worked with other Ethernet routers that night.

Thanks in Advance,

Michael
