Dear Ian, Brian, and netatalk-admins,
Thanks you for sharing your knowledge. I took Ian's advice
and, sure enough, /etc/services was missing the four ddp entries.
However, while that made the "Unknown service" message go away,
appletalk still doesn't work on this computer. In the meantime,
I also:
- recompiled my kernel (still linux 2.0.30) with ddp built in (as
opposed to being a loadable module); still no good.
- followed Brian's lead and installed an ethernet card to see
whether it's a token-ring support issue; still no good (both
eth0 and tr0 work with IP, but neither works with ddp).
The state it's in now is that 'getzones' gives the message (after
a while) "atp_resp: Connection timed out"; 'atalkd' gives an immediate
"AppleTalk not up! Child exited with 1.", and 'ifconfig tr0 ddp up;
ifconfig eth0 ddp up; ifconfig' shows no change in the interface (it
doesn't look like ddp comes up at all, although neither of the first
two ifconfigs give any error). This happens whether my /etc/atalkd.conf
looks like
tr0
eth0
or like
tr0 -phase 2 -net 1-10 -addr 1.222
eth0 -phase 2 -net 9000-9099 -addr 9000.222
Anyone have any further ideas on this? I really appreciate it --
thanks!
