Sorry. I am still cleaning out some old messages, and found this. I don't
think it got fully answered.

For all this stuff to work right, you need to have a seed router. Netatalk
can act as one, but you're not configuring it as such.

NAT should have nothing to do with appletalk.
What's on your "outside world" ethernet? Anything which will care about
Appletalk traffic?
If not, try
ed0 -phase 2 -seed -net 100 -zone "The wild outside"
ed1 -phase 2 -seed -net 101 -zone "My happy home"
The address will get selected automatically. You don't need more than one
net number, unless you have a lot of computers. We have about 150 using
one net number. :-)
Or, just turn netatalk on on the internal network. If you have both
interfaces on, and don't have a seed router on either side, they end up
with identical network numbers. Network numbers are supposed to be unique
per wire. So what might have happened is that, due to routes to ed0 being
found before ed1, all netatalk transmissions went out ed0. I gathered all
your computers were on ed1, so things'd not work. :-)
If you only have netatalk running internally, things should work fine.
just delete the ed0 line, and everythig should come up. Note: you won't be
able to define zones.
Take care,
Bill
