I have the ascend and the portmaster configured correctly, I believe.
I can ping the ascend from a host on the other side of the portmaster,
but i cannot connect from the mac to a host on the inside
nor can i ping the mac from the inside. (and i wrote all this before
i had a macintosh ping program, but i just located one of those and
i can't ping the ascend from the mac...).
netstat -a on the host being telnetted to does not show a half-open
connection.
show arp on the ascend DOES show the mac's ethernet address (see below)
and IP number.
configuration:
the mac is a IIfx running system 7.5.5;
the asante card driver is version 5.6.0 (downloaded yesterday from
asante), the card is an "MCNB rev a, part number 09-00061-00;
the portmaster is a 2e with the standard 10 serial ports and a single
5-bri board as the first expansion port running comOS 3.3.1;
the ascend a 25fx with 4.6C.
This is my home machine, but i had the same problem, i believe,
with a different mac (but literally the exact same ethernet card)
in the office. After switching from the mac to a windows machine,
and realizing i had a bad cable between the ascend and the minihub,
things started working (I think; i cannot guarantee i didn't make any
other configuration changes).
Routing tables are correct on the ascend, the portmaster, and the sun,
to the best of my knowledge (see below).
I have tried MacTCP 2.6 and Open Transport 1.1 (? whatever ships with
7.5.5) with no apparent effect.
HEre's some relevant output from the ascend, the portmaster, and the
solaris box. Note the >>'s on the ascend output, i see what's
happening but in the context of the rest of it i have no clue why.

The PPP link is definitely up between the ascend and the portmaster,
both sides agree on that (and again, i can ping the ascend from the
solaris box).
I'm stumped. Help!
