CAP via IPTalk on a non Class-C network

Using a Fastpath 4, we have been trying to set up an IPTalk zone on a 
class B network.  The FastPath manual shows the 'simple' way of configuring
an IPTalk network, and it does appear in the Chooser.  However I cannot
seem to make the FastPath reply to the CAP host.

Both have the the same high 3 bytes, so that I am using the low order byte
as the appletalk node number.  Older FastPath manuals tell me that IPTalk
is possible on Class-A and Class-B networks via an atalkatab but provide
very little information.  I am under the impression that if I keep the
CAP Host and FastPath having the same high 3 bytes I dont need to worry 
about this.

CAP is patch level 100 running on an SGI, under IRIX 4.0.1.  I have 
seen packets go to the FastPath, so I assume CAP compiled correctly.
I have also tried both ranges of ports...

What am I doing wrong?  How do I fix it?

thanks,
