The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.5

SYMPTOMS
========
When you run Services for the Macintosh on a computer running Windows NT Server
using an Ethernet or Token Ring network interface card (NIC) and a C.O.P.S.
LocalTalk NIC, Macintosh client computers can only view Windows NT Servers that
are using the same NIC as the default NIC for Services for Macintosh.
For example, if you select the C.O.P.S. LocalTalk NIC as the default NIC for
Services for Macintosh, only Macintosh client computers using the LocalTalk NIC
are able to view the Windows NT Server. Enabling seed routing has no effect.
CAUSE
=====
The LocalTalk Network Number is not sent out with the correct information in the
packet.
