I have four boxes on the network.  The OS-X box (bacon, 192.168.1.1) sits
on the Ethernet network, plugged into an Ethernet hub.

The MacOS 7.5.3 box (traver, 192.168.1.173) sits on the Ethernet network
and runs Localtalk Bridge for file sharing purposes.  It also runs
IPNetRouter, with the MacIP gateway set to 192.168.1.2

The two Apple IIgs boxes (miller, 192.168.1.4; prior, 192.168.1.8) are
sitting on a LocalTalk network and I'm trying to run Marinetti/MacIP.  The
goal here is to be able to log into bacon/192.168.1.1 from prior.  At the
moment, I can run Telnet on the MacOS 7.5.3 box and log into 192.168.1.1
without any trouble, but I haven't managed to get it to work on the IIgs.

: Have you tried to connect using the localhost IP addr?  (I can't remember
: for sure but I think it is 127.0.0.1 )

Particular addresses are not particularly important, particularly since
neither network is connected to the outside world.  The real challenge is
just in getting connected via MacIP to the Ethernet network.  Oh, and I
know LocalTalk is working because the atlookup on the OS-X box can see all
the machines.

Tonight I'll see if I can get a Macintosh to connect via MacIP to the OS-X
box.  That will help narrow down the problem, I think.
