Didn't like Priscilla's answer? I did. She's right on the money I'd say. Here it is again: -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Priscilla Oppenheimer Sent: Sunday, September 23, 2001 10:59 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: apple machine and cisco switch problem [7:20825] Turn on portfast, which causes a switch port to go into forwarding mode more quickly. I bet the Macintoshes didn't receive AppleTalk parameters correctly because the switch port didn't start forwarding while they were booting and starting up AppleTalk.
