Hi, Andras,
No, there are no other routers, it is a very small test network
consisting of only the FreeBSD server (sitting between the Appletalk
network on ethernet and the Internet) and one mac workstation running OS
8. Both of them are on the same hub on the inside network. It's very
strange. Even when I use the -seed option, the Mac can't see the server
in the chooser.
Tried making the atalkd.conf file read only (great suggestion by the
way!), but that didn't work either. I also tried manually changing the
net address on the mac to be the same as the server (different node, of
course) and that also didn't help. I'm starting to think there is
something more fundamentally wrong. Any more suggestions?
Sean.
