Re: (ASCEND) Direct PC

["Tim Jung" <tjung@igateway.net>]

The very weird thing was I had this working with an Ascend Pipeline
400T1/PRI. I had a PRI worth in incoming for dedicated ISDN connections. It
worked fine once I turned on the reverse ARP. I needed more lines for
dedicated connections so I moved up to an Ascend Max 4004 and *POOF* it
stopped working. I even double checked to make sure reverse ARP was turned
on
and it is, but it is still no go.

The issue is that seems to me to be the problem is that possibly the Max4004
is not routing anything out to the net that didn't come from that subnet
that is connected. Like it has some anti-spoofing turned on or something.

If any one has any ideas let me know. Everything else works perfectly but
not Direct PC. So I doubt it is a routing issue else why can they surf and
email fine until they try and work with the Direct PC?
