appletalk? as in localtalk cabling? If it is localtalk
cabling (aka phonenet), then I don't think ping is
possible. However, I think it should be visible through
nbplkup.

Well, I guess if the machine can see other ip-connected
machines on the network with ping, the networking is fine.
It doesn't seem like there is a particular problem. Can you
do stuff? Like go through chooser on the macs and access
