Have you verified that broadcast traffic is not flowing? Also - when you say directed IP is, you have done it host to hsot and not just host to switch, yes?
To show up in Network Neighborhood I believe they will also need to be in the same workgroup ... or pointing to a WINS server for name resolution. Thanks!

So the vlan was already setup in the VLAN database. I do have the ports in question set to switchport mode access. All of the ports are in the same vlan. Matt ---Previous Message--- I'm trying to setup a Cat 6500 running IOS 12.1 (c6sup22-dsv-mz.121-8a.E5) as a layer two switch and I'm running into some issues. I have a group of ports all on the same vlan, with "switchport" set to enable them as layer 2 switch ports. Directed IP traffic flows fine, but broadcast traffic is not flowing between the ports. The short story of the problem. In this test environment I have 5 NT servers plugged into the Cat 6500 and they can't see each other view "Network Neighborhood". My current goal is to just get this switch to act like your basic unmanaged switch (I'll work on the more interesting settings after I get this basic functionality working.) Any ideas what I might be missing? Matt ***************************************************************************** The information in this email is confidential and may be legally privileged.
