Maybe Andrew's IIGS isn't seeing the IPNetRouter as an IPGATEWAY? I
don't know anything about IPNetRouter or Marinetti's MacIP link layer
but the Apple specification speaks of an NVE called "IPGATEWAY" which
doles out the IP addresses to the localtalk clients and strips (and
encapsulates) the IP packets inside the DDP packets. Give me a couple
of minutes here and I can whip up a hack that will do an NBP lookup.

Ok, back. 

Can Phil and/or Andrew download the file called "lk" and run it from a
shell (like ORCA Shell, it's an exe not a s16) on their IIGS's and see
if IPNetRouter is responding as an IPGATEWAY type?

Make sure Appletalk is active on the the IIGS or the error returned
will be 8888.
