Doesn't that imply the IIe would have session problems with both? I used it with a FastPath 4 for years before getting my first Gatorbox. Never had a problem. IIRC, it was the FP 5 that never cooperated.
Everything is working fine for me. Spent a boring hour bringing various Apple machines up and down, netbooting, browsing, etc. No problems at all.
Here's my first attempt at a dedicated 3d printed case. A lot of hand rework involved to get things fitting correctly. Now to put a gun to my...
A bit tight on time this AM, but SE/30 and IIe are behaving themselves. I'll do some further testing with ethertalk clients this evening. Thanks for the update!
Ah, I think we're talking past each other. Chooser was not the issue. It was the Appletalk control panel. The machine is a 32 MB SE/30 running System 7.5.5. There are a number of things installed, but nothing network related.
Interesting. I'm using the same tun/tap setup and seeing no issues at all with Macs on the LT side. Everything shows up as expected on both sides of the router. The only difference is that I use the tashrouter to seed both ethernet and localtalk.
I assume you edited the code to prevent seed...
Glad to be of help! TashTalk and TashRouter are essentially ready to become a replacement for obsolete LT-Ethernet hardware. To that end I'm working on a re-mix of one of the Pi Zero case designs with the proper cut out for the LocalTalk jack. Will post STLs here when it's done.
It would be...
Yes, the SE/30 was on LocalTalk. And, yes, your suggested workaround above fixes the issue! Not only is it now showing the Zone, but the lookup runs about 10x faster. It used to pause for 5-10 seconds after the Appletalk control panel icon was selected - now it pops up instantly.
The SE/30...
Everything is not only good, it's better! Netboot now works on the IIe. Happiness ensues...
Last remaining nit: The SE/30 still insists < no zones available > Otherwise it's working fine. I can connect to the server and mount volumes. Do you want me to apply any of the patches you're...
And, survey says... 'destination_network=port.network' fixed the issue! Session just stayed up for over 15 minutes, which implies forever :) Thanks so much to @tashtari and @NJRoadfan for the assistance.
On to the next issue: Netboot hangs, probably because the router isn't advertising the...
All I can tell you is what I'm observing. The IIe does get a zone name, but an SE/30 on the same LT network just calls out "unknown". If I switch the SE/30 to ethertalk it gets the zone without incident. The traces show a difference in behavior from the Gatorbox, specifying '*' as the zone...
I'll try the changes that @tashtari outlined above and see if it has any effect.
UPDATE: I'm back. Neither of these changes made any difference to the session durability. Still goes down inside of a minute or two.
@NJRoadfan - Can you take a quick peek at these captures (Wireshark / Ethernet and Watcher / Localtalk) and let me know if the packets you need to see are there? This is for the problematic case of networking the IIe over tashrouter.
