Thank you for your prompt response! Yes, I've edited atalkd.conf and
tried shutting eth0 off (#-marked the line)and for eth1 (8139) I've
run 'eth1 -phase2' it then creates the addresses itself. But I'll
try your suggestion right away! What's curious is that I don't get
any error results when trying to connect from my G4. When I try the
IPaddress for eth1, the G4 keeps trying a long while and then says
'no contact' and the Appletalk server doesn't even show in the
chooser.

Regards,

Aake Svensson
