Slight nit. Your Ethertalk zone is not from 200 to 500, your netrange is.
Zones are seperate. You can have multiple zones on a phase 2 net (on a
physical wire), and you can have the same zone name show up on multiple
wires. Our building Ethernet has 7 zones, three of which also have
attached LocalTalk areas. So each of those zones map to two netranges.
Why do you have this setup? Do you really have 253*301 > 76,000
computers??? Make the net range from 200 to maybe 201. We have a building
w/ about 150 macs, and it all fits in one net number (15107-15107).

It sounds like the server is acting like a router. Double check that, and
make sure that it's idea of the network agrees with netatalk's.
Take care,
