we temporarily need an AppleTalk router, so installed 1.5/i386 on a spare
PC with two fxp. Installed the netatalk package to. Plugged fxp0 into the
network, confirmed with tcpdump that it saw AppleTalk packets

with atalkd.conf of just
  fxp0
started atalkd, was slightly concerned at seeing something like
  strip0: not configured
  strip1: not configured
but then getzones correctly saw all the zones on campus, good

now to try the routing. Disconnected it from the campus network in case it
causes them problems. Plugged a mac into one side through a crossover
cable. tcpdump show zip lookups etc from the mac as it starts up so cable
OK

changed atalkd.conf to
fxp0 -seed  -net 2748  -zone CMCB  -zone IMB
fxp1 -seed  -net 2708  -zone DDD_Etalk2  -zone IMB

and when restarting saw the following in the log
Jan 11 18:50:57  atalkd[284]: restart (990130)
Jan 11 18:50:59  atalkd[284]: zip_getnetinfo for fxp0
Jan 11 18:51:17  last message repeated 2 times
Jan 11 18:51:27  atalkd[284]: as_timer multiple interfaces, no seed
Jan 11 18:51:27  atalkd[284]: as_timer can't configure fxp0
Jan 11 18:51:27  atalkd[284]: as_timer waiting for router
Jan 11 18:51:27  atalkd[284]: ready 0/0/0
and no network traffic is visible to tcpdump on restarting atalkd, nor does
the other mac see signs of zones, etc

also on killing atalkd see the following
Jan 11 21:23:02  atalkd[284]: difaddr: Can't assign requested address


any ideas why?
PS there's no AppleTalk routes under netstat -r


cheers,
