We do have one Mac system setup on our LAN. Appletalk is active on the Mac to allow it to communicate with PCs on the LAN via PC/MacLAN, but it uses TCP/IP (Open Transport) to communicate with the server. We were initially getting arp lookup errors... so we used arp to add entries for the systems on our LAN. This did not fix the problems, probably because I used arp incorrectly. We changed the subnet our LAN was using to 255.255.255.252 and the arp lookup errors went away - for our PC-based systems, that is. The Mac would not allow us to change the subnet to .252 but insisted it remain 255.255.255.0 in TCP/IP. Would something I did with arp be causing this problem or do I need to configure either the server or the Mac in some way?
