Thanks for the ideas. I did try some of those things. I didn't know that you could tell if a device was a Frame Relay switch or router based on whether it sets the DE bit, though? And how would I know if the frame arrived with the DE bit set??
This was on a virtual lab. I didn't have access to the FR switch. I agree with you that it was acting funny. If I have time I'll go back and do some more testing, but I can't promise that I will have time. Thank-you very much for your inteest in the problem and your suggestions, though.
