Hi,
> The atalkd.conf has nothing else but the comments
If you want to use both NICs für AppleTalk you must configure them (netatalk
will be an appletalk router afterwards)
I would recommend the following:
eth0 -seed -phase 2 -net 1-1000 -addr 1000.142 -zone "eth0"
eth1 -seed -phase 2 -net 1001-2000 -addr 2000.142 -zone "eth1"
Note: Your AppleTalk Network will then routed, so the AppleTalk Devices have
to use addresses not from within the AppleTalk startup range. It might be
necessary to open the AppleTalk control panel on any Mac and to close it
afterwards. Then your Macs will assign theirselves new addresses in the
given network range (you can control it via "nbplkup" on the linux host)
If your problems disappear and you don't want to publish zones, then replace
both '-zone "ethx"' switches with '-zone "*"' (zone mapping)
If you want to use appletalk only on one NIC you have to supply _one_ entry
without the '-seed' switch, eg. "eth0 -phase 2". This NIC will then be
autoconfigured (might be a problem with your 3Coms if they are not multicast
capable -- I don't know)
regards,
Thomas
