So you are in a network with another AppleTalk server (router?)?
In my network (just 2 machines :-)) there is only the default zone "*",
which is not entered in my atalkd.conf.

If only these two (or three) entries are present, this could (possibly) be the reason for your
problems. In my /etc/services I have the following AppleTalk entries:
<excerpt from /etc/ervices>
#
# make apple talk more friendly
#
rtmp            1/ddp           # Routing Table Maintenance Protocol
nbp             2/ddp           # Name Binding Protocol
echo            4/ddp           # AppleTalk Echo Protocol
zip             6/ddp           # Zone Information Protocol
#
# Appletalk
#
afpovertcp      548/tcp         # AFP over TCP
afpovertcp      548/udp         # AFP over UCP
</excerpt from /etc/ervices>
I think the NBP is essential for name binding. ;-)

Please post messages (also) to the mailing list.
So everyone can participate. :-)
A note for the list maintainer:
Is it possible to add a "Reply to" field with the list-address to the header?
I always have to add the list-address to the list of recipients by hand.
