 The Appleshare client shipped with macOS 8.0 or later should
automaticly switch to IP when it finds the server capable of it.

 Supposed to happen automaticly. Can the Mac client connect via 'server
IP address' ? If so, for some reason your NetAtalk must be sending the
wrong IP address to the client in the initial capablity excange over
DDP.

In my case, any mac with OS 8.0 or later switches to IP for the actual
connection.
