nbplkup shows nothing

Hello Listers!

        Ok, so having solved my initial problem, I'm now looking at getting my age
old LaserWriter IIg working again.

        nbplkup shows absoluetly nothing--not even my own workstation. Does this
mean that the entire netatalk package is currently running over IP? (The
machine does show up in my OS 9 chooser) Can my old LaserWriter work with
this, or does it require classic appletalk?

        I remember reading somewhere that classic appletalk sometimes requires a
reboot to make it work if you restart the service. (I've been restarting the
service ALOT lately.) It was also suggested that you could unload and
reload the module, avoiding a reboot.

        I'd like to avoid doing a reboot if I can help it. The only appletalk
module I can fine is for a 2.2.14 kernel, and I'm running 2.2.15pre3.
Trying to load it anyway results in the following errors:

        Warning: kernel-module version mismatch
        appletalk.o was compiled for kernel version 2.2.14-1.3.0bpmac
        while this kernel is version 2.2.15pre3

appletalk.o: unresolved symbol call_out_firewall
appletalk.o: unresolved symbol call_in_firewall
appletalk.o: unresolved symbol call_fw_firewall

        I don't have any other appletalk.o modules except for the 2.2.14 series.
However, this is the same kernel I was using before I upgraded to
ASUN2.1.4-39, and nbplkup worked just fine (as did my laserwriter)

        Could anyone clue me in, is there a way to discover if appletalk support is
compiled into my kernel? Would that mean I'm doomed for a reboot? Am I
missing something really obvious?

Thanks in advance!
