Hi Yiannos,

As far as I am aware the "ipmap" process which handles the
topological representation of your IP Internetwork only shows
things in the following progressive fashion:-
    -IP Networks ( ie. Subnets )
    -Segments ( within the IP Networks )
    -Nodes ( Within the Segments )
    -Interfaces ( Attached to the Nodes )
Your problem seems to be that you aren't seeing all networks
overlaid on the one sub-map.   I don't think basic Netview can
help you here.  If you try to cut and past the symbols to represent
things the way you wish to see them you will run into problems
with topological representation ( ie. ipmap will throw up it's
hands and say "this node is no longer managed by me" - ie.
it will be put in the "user" plane = develops a shadow and loses
it's connections to other objects on the screen ).However,  I would
be interested to hear any other points of view.
