Has anyone ever gotten this to actually work? Besides Steve Hirsch, who's helped me a ton with this thing, the ubuntu box is visible to a Mac Portable using 6.0.8, and a 9600 that has 7.6.1 with Open Transport, so that covers both AFP and TCP. The Mac Portable can also see the 9600 shares. The IIgs can only see the 9600 shares. Since the Mac Portable/System 6/chooser means that we're using AFP only - so AFP is broadcasting, and the Intel Mac is connected properly .. The IIgs sees itself, and the 9600, but not the Ubuntu box. Who's doing what? atalkd.conf has: eth1 -phase 2 -net 0-65534 -addr 1.168 or eth1 -seed -phase 2 -net 0-65534 -addr 1.168
Yeah, this has been very frustrating! I've run a netatalk server here for over ten years to support my Apple 2s. Stuck my neck out and told Tony I could talk him through it, but am busy eating crow...
To level-set things, I installed the exact same package version on an extra box here. It worked from the word go. My IIgs bridges to ethernet through a Gatorbox and nbplkup on the Linux machine (essentially network broadcast ping) turns up everything. Network services to the IIgs are rock solid.
Tony's setup has been uncooperative. It's almost as if something was swallowing the DDP packets and not allowing any traffic between netatalk and the IIgs. Tried all the usual suspects: Substituted different ethernet switch, checked for firewall rules, etc, etc. We are not dealing with authentication issues, AFAIK, since things never get far enough to attempt a connection!
So, I'll second the request: Is anyone else on the list successfully using netatalk to share files to a IIgs or IIe?
