Betcha money you don't have a network card in your IW's expansion slot. It
doesn't do localtalk without the card. I have one in my IW and my Macs and
IIs see it fine; even the Macs on ethernet can see it through my router. So
get a card and install it and try again. You'll need the AT Imagewriter
chooser extension on the Mac and the Netprinter CDEV on the IIgs to see the
IW once it's on the network.
