You've more than one network card but not configured netatalk to do seeding (tell the network it's configuration).

So there's no other seeding router found on the net connected to eth0. atalkd can't guess what configuration you want on eth0 and on eth1, so you'll have to tell it:

- to use only one network interface (in atalkd.conf you must have only one line with eth0, the rest is filled out by atalkd automatically)
- to seed and thus to configure the network itself. Example see below.

So I've two NIC in my server and told to seed:

eth0 -seed -phase 2 -net 11 -addr 11.2 -zone "Ether"
eth1 -seed -phase 2 -net 13 -addr 13.1 -zone "Ether"

If you have many Macs and/or printers, you may even give a range: -net 13-20.

Of course, because without router no packets could be forwarded.
