Re: AW: 5494-002 from T/R to Ethernet

[Philipp Rusch <Philipp.Rusch@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Oliver,

I got another trick for you:

you remember NS/Router?  If you got a PC with it installed,
start NS/Administrator just do like you would to define a 802.2 (DLC) 
connection over a LAN, then go to the properties dialogue and there
you have an option to calculate translated adresses. You enter your 
actual address in the upper field, check "use translated address" 
beneath, and the result is displayed in the field below.

HTH, Philipp
