Did you try just using eth0 in the atlakd.conf instead of ( eth0 -phase 2 -net
0-65534 ) ive noticed that that range does cause problems so i just snipped it
of at eth0.
because that is saying that eth0 is available on the entire port range. which
indeed only needs port 548 fot tcp/udp for afovertcp transfer.
well good luck again.
i find if i need to setup appletalk on linux that slackware 4.0 is great and
basically just works ! i know this is not the situation but figured i would
share it.
later, chris
