Hello. I'm new to the list and haven't find (yet) archives on posters on the same subject. I'm sorry to to repost the following.

Problems:

 1/ server won't show in chooser, but can be called giving IP/name
 2/ private network freeze, as well as Mac, for few seconds every
    few minutes.

---

I'm running Netatalk on a multi homed Linux box with RedHat 5.2, kernel 2.0.36, netatalk1.42b_asun2.1.6

eth0 goes to my cable modem through DHCP eth1 goes to my private network - 192.168.1.0

I'm running named on the box authoritative on my private net.

AppleVolumes.default contains 2 lines ~ Home /home/atalk "My share"

I type into atalkd.conf only "eth1". Later, it gets rewritten with "phase", "net" and "addr". There is no way I can set up any zone name as atalkd.conf docs says.

How can I set up a Zone name ?

---

When atalk gets started it picks up the hostname from eth0 (the way I let my DHCP connection to let go).

My problem is that no server shows up in the chooser of my Mac on my private net.

If I enter the server's address I get the share showing up and I can mount a volume.

note: I can indistinctively call the server by either it's name on eth0 or its name on eth1.

Later, my eth1 network is locked up for a few seconds every minute or so. IT freezes the Mac. Unmounting any network volume, not shuttong down atalkd won't stop this. I have to rebooot the gateway/server.

My /var/log/messages goes like this (see bottom of mail):

Is there anything a "trained eye" can spot into this that could help me? - I wonder about the "*" in "dt043n66:AFPServer@*" - I wonder I may have problem with the fact my box is dual homed and atalkd picking up the wrong interface's name.

That makes a lot of questions.

Any help, URL, trick will be welcomed.

Thanks, Thierry
