Jayson,
See the pic and tell me if im getting it right now.
Only thing I can think of is that TC will link but not pass data if the
community strings (system access) are not matching. The current builds
only support 1 sting for the entire unit. If that is the case...and you
are not using encryption hope that none of your clients can see both
bases.

Martin Madsen
