Thanks to everyone who sent a response. I'm sorry I didn't give more
details when I wrote last night; I think I was just on the verge of going
to sleep.
The exact message was:
"Your AppleTalk network has become available. To use the network, open the
AppleTalk control panel, then close it. "
So the users actually have to open the control panel in order to access
other AppleTalk devices(even if they are in the same VLAN or segment). And
no zones are displayed until after the control panel is opened and then
closed.
I've tried locking down the ports to all possible combinations of 10/100
half/full, setting the ports of the affected machines to portfast/regular
STP implementations, and the problem still lingers. The only thing I have
noticed in the last 24hrs is that the machines running OS-X beta aren't
having the problem, those running OS9 and earlier are)
We don't have multiple seed routers(but thx for suggesting it Chris!).
Here's our layout:
(multiple mac clients G3/G4/etc...)

100/full (But i've tried all possible combinations)

Catalyst 5500b(VLAN 33)

FDDI

Catalyst 5500c w/RSM ISL
And the Apple TIL mentions this exact issue. However a clear solution isn't
provided. But thank you for noting it(Priscilla) and finding the link for
me(Daniel) it definitely is worth the read.
Well, I think I'm stuck. But I'll keep working on the problem and let you
know if I find a solution.
Thank you *all*(Ian, Daniel, Chris and Priscilla) for taking the time to
make the suggestions
P.S.: Priscilla, I just started reading TDND and am loving it. I'm
honored(I would try to find a more subtle word, but it's true) to have had
your input on this issue.
