Hey all..

When I tell the router to 'debug ip packet', I"ve identified two devices
that chat back and forth; or at least they're supposed to. The one device
that IS talking on the network, the router picks up its packets, and
prints "Encapsulation Failed" at the end of the line . The packet is
coming across a DS1 WAN link onto an Ethernet segment. The E0/0 interface
is ARPA-encapsulated, for IPX purposes, and the S0/0 is encapsulated HDLC.
What does "encapsulation Failed" mean?

I am indeed using HDLC.. Not having problems in any other area though..
I'm routing IP, and IPX.. The devices that are chatting back and
forth are speaking IP only.. No source-bridging.. and no other types
of bridging.. just IP and IPX routing.. The device that is in question
is an RS-232 to 10BaseT transeiver / media changer for a security panel,
that must communicate with the one in our main office. It won't speak
Ethernet to the network directly, but the pannel will only speak
RS232, and we have to figure out a way to get the packets back to our
main office...
