[MLB-WIRELESS] Using a MR314 to route a dialup connection?

[Rowan Wainwright-Smith]

Bruce,

Just a couple of things...

(I am assuming that the MAC is running MAC OS)

1. In GENERAL, Win 95 and MAC's will NOT communicate, at all unless:

    a.    You have an NT Server on the network, running Services for MAC.
    b.    I also suggest you use the FULL version of WinRoute (if you can get
it)
    c.    See if you can find the AppleTalk Protocol for Win95.

2.  Normally MAC's when running IP are actually running AppleTalk over IP and
Win 95 runs NETBEUI/NETBIOS over IP. The two are inherently incompatible.

To fix this, you can either:
Get NETBEUI for MAC;
or
Get AppleTalk for Win9x

Last I heard, there was an AppleTalk protocol for Win9x floating around
_somewhere_ - I suggest Google or similar.

Also... I would suggest ensuring that WinRoute KNOWS that the MAC has
permission to use the link.

Good Luck.
