Subject: [netatalk-admins] semi-complete failure of nbplkup and netatalk...

Darn it! Netatalk will *not* work properly on my server!
I have:
Linux kernel 2.0.29 + ISS patches for TCP improvements
latest version of DEC tulip driver for my SMC EtherPower 10/100 card.
netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.0a17
CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST=y
everything is up and running almost correctly...
Mac users can see and use the directories provided by netatalk so file
sharing seems to be working perfectly.
my problem is this:
[server prompt]# getzones
atp_rresp: Connection timed out
and
[server prompt]# nbplkup
everclear:AFPServer 65280.115:130
everclear:LaserWriter 65280.115:128
everclear:netatalk 65280.115:4
everclear:Workstation 65280.115:4
why does my netatalk server fail to see *all* the other appletalk
objects?
there are at least three printers and two other appletalk servers that
should show up but don't.
I've talked to Donald Becker about the multicasting with the tulip
drivers
and he says that multicasting in the newest tulip drivers is 100%
reliable
now and indicates that most probably the problem lies with netatalk and
not the tulip driver.
PLEASE help me figure out what is wrong with my setup so I can get
printers
working. But until I can actually see the printer object using nbplkup
I can't
even proceed to step 3 of the Netatalk Printing howto and I now have
something
like 20 people here at my office that thinks linux sucks because we
can't print
from it.
How can I better track down what is working incorrectly and fix it?
