Re: Token Ring to Ethernet solution for HIS |

Ahmed,
Whether there is mainframe comms or not will not stop the SNA Server service,
or the "link service" service from starting. If there is a problem with these
services not starting then there is a more fundamental configuration/install
issue going on. There should be clue(s) to the problem in the NT event logs.
If it's "just" a mainframe comms problem then the connection under the link
service will stay at pending. At which point you need to figure out the
underlying comms or comms config issue.
If the mainframe lan is token-ring, why not multi-home the HIS Servers,
running DLC on a token-ring card, and IP on an ethernet card. No need for
Cisco router config that way.

clients are running on token ring network with OS2 warp 4 as the operating
system
we are getting them to try HIS 2004 but the problem now is how to get the
HIS server to communicate with the mainframe
today I have tried configuring a Cisco router that have both token ring and
Ethernet as a source bridge but SNA service didn't start on HIS any
suggestions or recommendations?
