subject: OS2 and Source Routing

Hiya All,
Anyone in here care to suggest why 3 OS/2 machines using Peer2Peer to access 
a local Win95 CD-Rom server should suddenly stop talking when we turned 
Source Routing off on the router port of that ring?
Network is Token ring over 4 LAMs on an IBM CAU fed by a 3COM router which is 
to be replaced by a Xylan switch that doesn't do source routing. All four 
machines are fed off the same CAU.
The Win95 machine can still see the OS/2 boxes and the sniffer says it's 
using IBM netbios to do it. I can't see why it's not replying to the OS/2 
"find name" packets though. =o(
The OS/2 boxes can still see each other as well.
Any and all suggestions more than welcome.
