Subject:      inter server routing problem

DATE SENT:  4-JAN-1993 16:56:33

(oops, I think I sent a blank message - sorry about that)

Dear netters,

I'm having some kind of a weird problem with routing between servers.
From the users point of view, they are occasionally unable to login or
attach to a file server.

The server I'm having trouble with today is called "LIBRARY" -
it's a 2.15 SFT.  When my current drive is mapped to that server, and I do
an SLIST, I get the following results:  (see slist transcript below)

NOTE THE "[Unable to read address"

after a couple of servers.  Yet, I immediately change to a different drive,
and do SLIST on a different server, everything is fine.  It's as if
the routing tables on the 2.15 server are getting screwed up.  If I do a
RESET ROUTER on the 2.15 server, and then do a SLIST, I get a _DIFFERENT_
pair of servers that it can't read the address of.  I did take the 2.15
server down and back up, and had the same problem.  Is there a maximum number
of networks, or whatever on a 2.15 server? Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Richard Warwick
