Any ideas? I hope 61.1 is an area router It is. Which is what makes this so confusing In that case, the next question is obviously how the DECnet routing table at 61.1 looks like. I'm curious as to what the table on 61.1 is as well. Might be a red herring, though. I would perhaps assume that 61.1 is routing things for other networks just fine, and only you have issues? Correct. Only I have issues. Actually, why don't you have an entry for area 61 in your routing table? I have absolutely no clue does it need to be added manually? I don't know enough about Cisco to say, but it seems *very* weird to me that you don't have area 61 in there. How would you expect packets to 61.x find their way anywhere? Amusingly enough, packets to 61.x get there fine. 61.1, or any node in area 61? Have you tried 61.3 for example? Any node in area 61 I can reach. Seems any node in area 61 can reach my area, too. Ok. I just know too little about how to check things on a Cisco. I would probably start by trying to verify where the packets are going both when pinging something in area 61, and pinging something else. Are they using that tunnel, or are they in fact being routed some other way. DECnet is tricky in that way, since it will find other ways if you misconfigure some stuff, so packets might not be travelling as you believe. A traceroute would have been very useful in DECnet, but the only thing like that I've seen is something Peter have on TOPS-10...
