I have a Shiva Fastpath 5 running the latest K-Star using the Marinetti MacIP link layer and Appletalk file sharing with a few OS 9 and 10.3.x machines and a PC running PCMacLan with no issues. If you obtain a Fastpath and have to reset it you will need a Mac with a Localtalk port to initially set it up. If you need help configuring I can provide setup info.

I was also successful in running an old Powermac 6100/66 with OS 8.6 as a bridge. You need to install the latest OpenTransport and I think the freely downloadable version of Localtalk Bridge off of Apple's site. Although its not documented, this combination of software does provide MacIP routing if you use the latest version of OpenTransport.

Can you clarify a point? Are you accessing files over LocalTalk from the IIGS? The mention of Marinetti is what's throwing me - I didn't think it could use the LocalTalk port. Would appreciate a bit more detail on your network topology.
