Netatalk: Additional Network Card, No Netatalk
Christopher Miles
I have been using Netatalk (1.4b2+asun) on my home server (and at work) for
about a year now. Verizon set me up with ADSL a couple weeks ago, and so I
have setup my linux box for IP masquerading and have added a second Ethernet
card. ADSL comes in on eth0 and is routed through ppp0 via the rPPPoE
client. All of that stuff works very well.
Since I've added the second Ethernet card, I can't get Netatalk to work any
more. What really bothers me is that it isn't reporting any errors. It looks
like it comes right up, but I can't see it with my Macintoshes. I have it
bound to eth1. I've attached the output from ifconfig below; it thinks that
EtherTalk is up and running.
When I try to connect from a Macintosh (MacOS 9.0.4) with the IP address, it
claims that there was no response. I'm not sure how to fix this because I'm
not entirely sure what the problem is. :(
Has anyone had similar issues? Any suggestions, of course, would be greatly
appreciated. I feel like I'm at a bit of a dead end.
Thank You,

Try removing (or renaming) atalkd.conf. I've found that having stale info in
it can keep things from working correctly when the service gets restarted. It
should be re-created automatically.

I've got the same problem: since the second card is in the server, atalk seems
to start fine, but when i look up the network from another linux box (nbplkup),
nothing gets reported. even if i connect both ethers
to our hub, you dont see any service of our server, althogh there are no error
messages around.

strangely, this works with my 7.6.1 and the newest possible Open Transport.
But when copying too many files or too large files to the server, the mac gets
hung.

I do not remember where, but i've read something about ethercard chipset
issues. If you've got the wrong one, atalk won't work.

"Bound to eth1" - you sure? In "atalkd.conf", you need to have a
single line that simply says "eth1".
