No Apple-Talking

Hi all!

I'm running SuSE 6.3 (kernel: 2.2.13, netatalk: 1.4b2+asun2.1.3-30) on a 500 MHz Athlon.
The other side: Macintosh IIfx, MacOS 7.6.1, OpenTransport 1.1.1, AppleTalk 1.1.1, AppleTalk driver
60.1.1.

Both are connected via Ethernet.

IP works fine between them: ping, telnet, ftp, etc.

netatalk starts up without an error.

dmesg shows a line:
        NET4: AppleTalk 0.18 for Linux NET4.0

In /proc/net the following appletalk files exist:
        appletalk, atalk_iface, atalk_route.

My /etc/services contains the lines:
        #
        # make apple talk more friendly
        #
        rtmp 1/ddp # Routing Table Maintenance Protocol
        nbp 2/ddp # Name Binding Protocol
        echo 4/ddp # AppleTalk Echo Protocol
        zip 6/ddp # Zone Information Protocol

        #
        # Appletalk
        #
        afpovertcp 548/tcp # AFP over TCP
        afpovertcp 548/udp # AFP over UCP

"ifconfig eth0" shows a line:
        EtherTalk Phase 2 addr:65280/162

I can successfully MacPing(tm) the Mac itself and my LocalTalk printer via "LaserWriter Bridge".
The main AppleTalk port is Ethernet.

I can also successfully aecho my linux box itself.

And now my problem:

Both machines don't see each other via AppleTalk:
"Name Binding Protocol" and "AppleTalk Echo Protocol" don't seem to work between them.
When I connect another Mac instead of my linux box AppleTalk works well between the two Macs.

getzones returns an error:
        atp_rresp: Connection timed out
but since I only have one (default) zone: "*", I don't think that this is fatal.

Can anyone please help me: what am I doing wrong?
Thank you.

Kind regards

        Carsten
