I don' know if there are other problems but if you would like to load
appletalk before atalk look in your /etc/rc.d.rc3.d directory. In there
there should be file S[some number]atalk or is it K[some number]atalk any
way just create a script file in /etc/rc.d.rc3.d that is one number smaller
ex K or Sxxappletalk (make sure you make this an executable file) this
should load before atalk
I
ts context should be:

#!/bin/sh
insmod appletalk

Hope it works, I'm having similar problems with appletalk but need to work
out other problems first (diald) before I move on to appletalk.

        I'd like to get an AppleTalk connection using Ethernet between a
        PowerMac7600 running YDL 1.2.1 (using Asante Fast 10/100 PCI Card)
and an
        old PowerBook G3.
        I am using a CROSSED ethernet cable, because I am connecting to
computers
        directly without a hup or something else. Is this o.k?

        I get the following errors in /var/log/messages after booting:

        ...
        atalkd: socket: Invalid argument
        atalkd: socket: Invalid argument
        atalkd: atalkd: can't get interfaces, exiting.
        atalkd: atalkd: startup failed
        atalkd: afpd startup succeeded
        afpd[850]: main: atp_open : Invalid argument
        afpd[850]: ASIP started on 192.168.1.27:548(0) (1.4b2+asun2.1.3)
        ...
        kernel: NET4: AppleTalk 0.18 for Linux NET4.0

        Someone in this list mentioned, that these error messages occur, if
        appletalk is not compiled into the kernel nor loaded as module. The
last
        line in the /var/log/messages file above results from manually
loading the
        module using

           insmod appletalk

        How can I get this module loaded everytime at startup (init 3), so
that it
        is loaded before atalk? Is this the mistake in my configuration or
could
        there be another problem?

        ifconfig shows eth0 and I can ping to IP address it is using, so I
think the
        ethernet card should be set up correctly.

        Thanks for your support.

        Dennis
