We had a similar problem because we didn't understand how the "Dynamic" and
"Static" addresses work in the KFPS with K-star.  If I remember correctly,
at least one of them must be non-zero or nothing works.  These numbers
specify a range of legal consecutive node numbers immediately following the
KFPS node number (in your case 195) that can be used by the Macs.  And if
your Mac node number falls out of that range then it doesn't work. :(

We specified 30 dynamic nodes and 30 static nodes, which means that all of
the Macs on the AppleTalk must have node numbers within 60 AFTER the KFPS
node number.  Seems to be working okay, but I don't know if you can mix
static and dynamic node numbers arbitrarily throughout the specified range.

Hope that helps.
