It is unlikely that the Appletalk (DDP) packets are being routed to your
graphic designer, so he is probably connecting by TCP/IP. You can force
afpd to only listen to a particular IP address (in your case, the address
assigned to your local ethernet card) by setting "-ipaddr w.x.y.z" in the
afpd.conf file. Have a look at the afpd.conf file for some examples and
documentation.
