Must have been something wrong with the setup of the objects, a quick delete
and re-discover then bingo nice red line. 

Thanks anyhow.

Paul, 

If I double click on the link I get a sub map showing two routers, both red
with a red link between them. If I then double click on the red link again I
get a symbol representing a ring with two red routers attached to the ring.

The two paths to the routers are actually diverse from the IP level; one
goes via the E3 the other via an Ethernet connection into another router. 

If my ascii art works I have the following 

--FE--RTR--E3--RTR--FE 

which in turns represents one side of a square. I would like the E3 link to
appear red at the top most IP map. 

Checking the interface submap shows the interface type as serial, I think
ring is the default network symbol. 

Reagrds
Peter

Peter,
Is it a meta-connection, in other words a connection showing
multiple paths? If so, that may be what you are seeing, while
one line is down, the other is still up so you still have
connectivity. Double-click on the black line, does it show you
anything?

Paul
