Hi. Thanks for that. I guess you mean a tcpdump output?
If yes, I'll generate one and pass it on. (if not, what should I use?)
BTW, I'm using Netatalk 1.4b2 + asun2.1.3-7, (installed from rpm) all clients
have the problem, with mixture of OS8 and OS9, they connect via AppleTalk
(2.0.3 driver 60.0a6 and 2.6 driver 61.0), and every file I tried was the same.
May be interesting to note that it seems to have broken itself after I
unloaded/reloaded the network services (/etc/rc.d/init.d/network script), and
added and deleted a few IP routes. But I didn't change any of the config...
Beside what I can't see what config messups could relate to those symptoms... :(
Thanks for your time!
Bye
Yan
