Hi folks,

I've been trying to understand a situation that doesn't seem quit normal
to me.
I've noticed that I have, in my phase 2 network different addresses
putted into the same zone names. So, I can see a node 11000.100 node on a
zone named Ethernet as I could look a 11001.200 one in the same zone
number (different net numbers for equal zone names).
Is this correct ? shouldn't a zone name have a unique net address as in
localtalk zones ?

Please reply me directly trough e-mail and, if justifies, I'll summarize.

Thanks all

Luis Quinta

Yes, what you saw is correct.  You can have the same zone name show up
anywhere you want on your network, regardless of the underlying network
number of the segment it is wrong.

This works for LocalTalk, too, not just Ethernet or Phase II.

There is _no_ one-to-one mapping of network number and zone name.  The
two concepts are completely independent of each other.

Ack.  My fingers were moving faster than my brain.  Sorry.

I meant: "...network number of the segment it is on.".
