    Hello,
    
    	My customer has the following configuration:
    
    
    --------+-----+--TL350_A1 >>> 2 meg <<< TL350_B1----+------
    	    |	  |					|
    	   MCC	  +--TL350_A2 >>> 2 meg <<< TL350_B2----+
    
    
    	The diagram isn't great but its a basic setup with a primary and a
    backup link. The root node is TL350_A1 and all TLs are running 10.4.3
    (as of last weekend).
    
    	The MCC station has the TransLAN access module and can see all
    TransLANs except TL350_B2. I can't even register this beast yet when I
    use the ETHERNET_STATION access module I can register TL350_B2 as an
    ethernet station and it sees it as a TL350, etc.
    
    	Any ideas as to what is getting lost? What is the difference
    between how the STATION AM communicates and how the TRANSLAN AM
    communicates?
    
    	I am cross posting this in VITALINK and MCC conferences.
    
    thanks,
    Andrew

    Hmm,
    
    	Perhaps you are all dying to help but need more information.
    
    	If I get in to the normal mgmt interface and do a TAP from the root
    to the missing node the path is incomplete. It beleives it can get 
    there but the TAP displays the path over the 2 meg link to the root's
    partner then pauses then displays a partial line (i.e. not a path from
    the partner over NI to the missing TransLAN) and decides it is success.
    
    thanks,
    Andrew

I sent a mail message to ZPOVC::ANDREWWAITES within hours of your initial posting
and have yet to hear from you. 

You may either respond in kind or post your answers here.

    Doug,
    
    	I think the rain or hail or sheet or snow at your end, OR the sun
    or waves or wine or women or song at my end distracted the postman.
    
    	Never received said message.
    
    	I'll try some mail to you as well.
    
    regards,
    Andrew
