You don't need to add the route--it is probably redundant anyway. If your
entire network is private, and you don't need access to the internet proper,
routing isn't necessary as long as all the machines are in the same subnet.
Delete the route, and set your eth0 device to 192.168.0.1 instead. You will
have to restart the network, and restart Netatalk so it binds to the proper
IP.

Do you mean you set up the IP address as 192.168.0.2, and the subnet mask as
255.255.255.0? That's how it would show up in the Mac OS control panel.

You shouldn't be able to ping 192.168.0.1 as there is no device with that
address, unless you are running a routing daemon such as gated. Make the
changes recommended above, then see if you can ping 192.168.0.1 from the Mac
OS. If you can, then in the chooser under appleshare select the "Server IP"
button and enter 192.168.0.1. This should work, barring any issues with MOL.
If that doesn't work, you could try using the loopback interface instead.
