Nothing. It can't even make one hop to the server without timing out.

Uh... I don't know. They're in the same building; clients over in your building don't have the problem (see below).

As I said above, client times out on the first hop. From the server to the client, the first (and only) hop is to 35.8.188.1 (huh?
what router is that?); the rest of the hops time out.

? 35.8.232.3 is not a router. Default route points to 35.8.232.1

Thank you. I may well not have configured this properly, and will check out the Novell TIDs you suggested. However, I'm not sure
that SLP is the problem per se, since I have some clients in another building/network segment who can log in and do stuff on the
server using pure IP, and I didn't do anything special to make that work.
Many thanks again.
