Katie, The Macintosh computers see zones using the AppleTalk protocol, quite different from TCP/IP. Your Firebox (like most firewalls) blocks all non-TCP/IP protocols, such as AppleTalk, Netware, and DECnet.
If your Macs need to see those zones again, you have a few choices: - Remove the Firebox. Don't laugh, maybe you need AppleTalk more than you need a firewall -- every situation is different. - Replace the Firebox with a firewall that can pass AppleTalk. I'm using Netscreen firewalls that pass AppleTalk (no endorsement implied), but Lucent and a very few other firewalls can pass AppleTalk, too. - Install an "AppleTalk bypass" -- a second network connection to your University network which blocks all TCP/IP and passes AppleTalk. - Install AppleTalk over TCP/IP tunnels on your network and the University network, and allow those tunnels through your Firebox. Finally, if for some silly reason you want to get rid of AppleTalk (don't believe the myths about AppleTalk!), you could force your Macs and other University resources (printers, servers, etc.) to migrate to all TCP/IP. Each choice has significant pros and cons depending on your environment. I am not a Windows wizard, so will let others help with your Windows domain/NetBIOS problems. Hope this helps. -- Rex At 3:57 PM -0500 1/17/02, Katie Kuehn wrote: >Until I installed the Firebox, the Windows (98, NT and 2000) boxes were able >to see multiple domains across the University network.
