Dale, I concur. Most MAU's that I have worked with are 8 port plus
RI and RO. And further, these do an internal wrap around, so RI and
RO are only used to connect to other MAU's. No RI-RO cable is needed
if the MAU is stand alone.

I'm gonna have to disagree with that statement. At least in part. The MAU
that I have, STAR-TEK, ( I can't even find out how old it is, no Url.)
828AT, has 1-8 ports and a Ri and a Ro also. Tell me if yours is
the same way?

Ports 1 and 8 on a MAU are reserved for ring in and ring out for daisy
chaining MAU's. You cannot use them for stations.

Don't you hate it when your trying to set up a Layer 3 scenario, but you get
stuck troubleshooting Layer 2 problems!?!?!?!
Thanks to everyone who posted and emailed suggestions. Everything is
working now. Some info that I probably should have included in the first
post was that I was plugged into Ports 1 &2 on the MSAU (but I also tried
Ports 7 & 8), and that the MSAU was giving a clicking sound in synch with
the routers giving debugging info - about once every 10 seconds. Also, I
had tried each router individually and got identical results, and there are
no other stations plugged into this MSAU.
Basically, all I did to solve it was plug the cables into ports 3 & 4 on the
MSAU, and walk away for about an hour. When I came back we were UP and UP!
I have since plugged the cables back into ports 1,2,7,and 8 and verified all
are working.
I'm guessing that either the ports were stuck (and they auto-reset
themselves - Is that possible?), or perhaps I just didn't push those type 1
connectors in far enough. If there's any Token Ring gurus out there that
would like to post about what could possible cause a port to become stuck,
or if it's possible for them to auto-reset, I'm sure everyone would
appreciate it.
Thanks again for all the replies! This list rulz!
