Appletalk routing

I have a remote router that for some reason isn't broadcasting it's appletalk zone. The remote Mac's do show that they are in that particular routers zone, but that info never makes it over the network. Other zones show up.

Any troubleshooting tips you can provide would be great. The only appletalk routing I know is to make sure the numbers aren't the same on any 2 routers.

It might be worth pointing out that this router *used* to work before we moved that office (yup the whole office). Also worth pointing out is that I do get RIP updates from that location, they are able to browse the internet and get email etc etc, it's only appletalk.

Help!

On the router in that remote office AT-related config may look like this:

hostname router-a ! appletalk routing appletalk route-redistribution ! interface ethernet0 appletalk cable-range 1000-1100 1001.123 appletalk zone ATZoneName ! interface serial0 appletalk cable-range 100-110 101.12 appletalk zone ATZoneName !

On a local router zone/cable-range for serial connection should be rather similar, and cable-range for local LAN should be different:

hostname router-b ! appletalk routing ! interface serial0 appletalk cable-range 100-110 101.234 appletalk zone ATZoneName ! interface ethernet0 appletalk cable-range 2000-2100 2002.111 appletalk zone ATZoneName !

Then use "sh apple route" commands to find out about AT network routes on each side of serial link.

the only noticable difference was the lack of of appletalk route-redistribution, and that my config uses multilink to wrap 2 T1's into a single link.

here's my configs

And the router that doesn't seem to be working

If an appletalk problem occurs after a move, the first thing you should do is power down EVERY SINGLE appletalk devices INCLUDING print servers.
