Hello -

We are running KIP on a 4.3 BSD system with a KFPS 2 box
on an AppleTalk net.  Here's the problem:

Everything's fine until I plug the AppleTalk connector into
the K-box.  Then all the macs on the net hang when one tries to access
anything over the net, like our main file server, or the laserwriter.

I looked around with Inter-poll and it looks like after the K-box is plugged
in it assigns a Zone name to our net, which normally runs with no-zones
and this somehow screws up everything else on the net.

What can we do to fix this?  Please help! thanks in advance.
