We have several people (including our top 3 executives) dialing into an Ascend Max200 modem server, using ARA 2.1 for the connection, with their MacTCP control panel set up for MacIP. IP addresses are assigned dynamically. All worked well while we were using "classic" networking. However, one of the executives just got a PowerBook 3400, which required going to Open Transport. And this problem popped up: If she dials in with ARA, disconnects, and re-connects without rebooting or resetting her Open Transport TCP/IP settings (switching to PPP then back to MacIP, or some such) the machine holds on to the old IP address instead of getting the new one from the server. And so nothing IP-based will go over the connection. No such problem exists for PPP connections; unfortunately, even if we bought a PPP stack that supported ATCP (AppleTalk over PPP), it's still not officially supported by Ascend yet (as the latest long discussions have shown). Since this setup worked under MacTCP, I have to presume that it's an OT problem, but I was wondering if there was a Max200 configuration setting that might be doing it too. Ascend supports RIP, and I would have thought that this protocol would be the proper way to notify OT about the change. I've tried both RIPv1 and RIPv2, but no luck. Is there anything I'm not seeing? FYI, this problem has been verified both in OT 1.1.1 and 1.1.2.
