What's happening (to summarize): Your machines are connecting over an
IP you don't want to use.
Solution? Try this: See if you can connect over the IP you do want to use.
Chooser-> Appleshare->Server IP address.
Make aliases to that IP.
Possible complications:
1. If your routing isn't set up right, you may have to go to the public IP,
or change your routing.
2. If Netatalk tries to bind afp over tcp the first address assigned, change
the order you assign them.
3. If you try to connect via DNS name, or some other method that uses the
public IP, you have to use that IP.
