It's funny that we are seeing this message after seeing all those complaints
about the CCDP recert exam including AppleTalk! :-)

All zones are showing up on the Macs? That's a good sign. 

Routing wouldn't show up on the Macs, but do all routes show up on the
routers?

Most AppleTalk problems are related to routing, not finding services. To
avoid problems with split horizon, be sure to use Frame Relay subinterfaces.

AppleTalk services are never advertised. Users look for them.

Do you mean that servers don't show up when users who are across the Frame
Relay network try to find them? That is indeed strange.

Hmmm. It does seem like an access list problem, though....

It also sounds like it could be a duplicate network number. If this is a new
or updated design, it's pretty common to mistakenly reuse an AppleTalk cable
range, or have overlapping ranges. Other than misconfigured access lists,
that's the only time I've ever seen such a strange result as what you're
seeing, if I understand what you're seeing (zones and routes OK, but users
can't find services).

If it's been upgraded to AppleTalk over IP and Mac OS X, then it's a whole
other story. I think Mac OS X uses Service Location Protocol, which is
multicast based and requires IGMP and an IP multicast routing protocol to be
working correctly.

Is this a new problem? What changed? What version of Mac OS are the users
using? Is this pure AppleTalk or AppleTalk over TCP/IP?

I might be willing to help if you could send more info on what's happening,
version numbers, config, etc.
