Actually, I feel pretty retarded, but I may as well ask (pre-emptive
shut-up, Sellam -grin). I have been trying to get my TR network
working for over a year now and can't for some damned reason. Most of
the NICs are either Madge or IBM PCI (a few are Olicom PCI/ISA or IBM
MCA). The hubs are Bay Networks Baystack 504 (loaded with DCM, NMM,
MDA, etc) or Centillion 100 with TokenSpeed 4 port blades mixed with
ATMSpeed/155 and EtherSpeed 10/100 blades. Can't get either to
properly allow the NICs to communicate over the hubs. Tried a lot of
things and still can't figure out what is wrong. Also have an IBM
8228 MAU, but no reset tool to make it work. I have all the cabling
and even tried RJ45<->RJ45 vs. Type 1 vampire<->DB9 cabling -
nothing. Anyone have any ideas? I was dumb and gave my working 3Com
TR hub to a friend years ago, so that is out of the picture. What I
can't understand is why I can't get the 504 working on the network
again after it ran a few years ago when last used.

Originally this topic was about Apollo TR but several
questions have come up
about IBM TR. I happen to have spent several years with different vendors of
IBM Token Ring hardware and IMHO am somewhat of an expert on the topic. I
would be glad to answer any in depth questions but I suspect that the
majority of the list members would be bored. On the other had there is
always the delete key. Either way, let me know.
