problems with linux + tr + switch

[Christoph Haas <chhaas.lra-lb@gmx.net>]

Hello,

I have trouble with my Linux-box getting over a Madge TR-switch:
I can ping all stations in the same ring as my Linux-box and the switch,
but if I try to ping stations in another ring connected to our switch I don't
get over the switch.
Maybe it is because our TR-switch is configured for "transparent routing"
only. "Source routing" is definitly not possible (and our whole network is
configured for transparent routing).

Is there a way to tell my driver to do transparent routing, or are there
other possible causes for my problem? (I had a longer time ago with another
machine [w95] some strange problems with the ARP-request on another
location).

TIA
Christoph.
