We have an application running on a server with a Token ring card and some users have an ethernet card and the others a token ring card. All the users with Ethernet, cannot see the application on the server (they cannot see the server neither). Thislittle server is not our main server because the main server is been seen by everybody. Can we put an Ethernet AND Token Ring card on the same machine so that everybody will be able to see it??? Help!!!

Could be a less nice solution. Careful though: you may be creating loops that have a negative effect on everything, if not properly set up.
But some box on the network must be translating Ethernet to TR, maybe you should start checking there? Is that server or router up and running, can you ping it, ping from one side to another? Can the Ethernet users see that box? Can they ping it? Do they have a default gateway that is aware of that box? Can the ethernet server see that box? Does theethernet server have a default gateway that is aware of the box?
