"atalkd" is the netatalk daemon so should only be run once, and it should keep going.
If you only have one network interface atalk should work things out, how many do you have?
Also, if you have other macs on the network, running "nbplkup" should show up those other macs.
Here is "nbplkup" run from my gateway, and sees another netatalk box..
Code:
$ nbplkup
gateway:ADSP 65280.94:128
10.1.3.1:IPADDRESS 65280.94:72
10.1.3.1:IPGATEWAY 65280.94:72
gateway:netatalk 65280.94:4
gateway:Workstation 65280.94:4
saxon:AFPServer 65280.152:128
saxon:netatalk 65280.152:4
saxon:Workstation 65280.152:4
"saxon" is Ubuntu, neither ifconfig or netstat show ddp sockets.
Whereas on NetBSD you get
Code:
rtk1: flags=8843 mtu 1500
media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
status: active
......
atalk 65280.94 range 1-65534 phase 2 broadcast 65280.94
