try altering yout /etc/atalk/atalk.confb y adding 'seed' then shut down
the atalk daemon and start it again. this takes a few minutes because
the deamon is searching your net for free nodes. when the atalkd is
started lokk into the conf file and you will see the numbers atalk is
using. fire up afpd and thats it
