TCP/IP Control Panel: No Zone Information (4/96)

AppleTalk control panel reports proper Ethernet zone, the Chooser shows zones available, but TCP/IP control panel shows no zones to select. This happens with Open Transport 1.0.6, 1.0.7, and 1.0.8. Why does this happen and is this going to be fixed?

Also the Apple LAN Utility lets you manually configure the Ethernet address. When saving the new address, a dialog box says "save changes to LAN Built-In". Where is this information saved?
There was a bug that affects the ability to see zones in the TCP/IP control panel if there are more than 512 zones on the internet. This bug is fixed in Open Transport 1.1, and you should upgrade to it.

The Apple LAN Utility writes the data to the ecfg resource stored in the Ethernet driver itself.
