OK, here's a status update.

I've acquired and installed into my PowerBook's Duo Dock a Daynaport NuBus ethernet card. I have an ethernet cable connecting the NuBus ethernet card to a 10/100 switch, which in turn is conencted to the rest of my LAN and ultimately to the Internet. The machine I am typing this message on is also connected to the Internet through this same 10/100 switch.

On my Linux machine "quad", also connected to this same switch, I have netatalk running. I can ping addresses on the Internet from quad without problems. nbplkup on quad returns this:

quad:AFPServer 65280.154:128

quad:netatalk 65280.154:4

quad:Workstation 65280.154:4

Apple PowerBook 230 in Duo Dock:AFPServer 65337.1:251

Apple PowerBook 230 in Duo Dock:PPCToolBox 65337.1:252

Apple PowerBook 230 in Duo Dock:PowerBook Duo 230 65337.1.253

Apple PowerBook 230 in Duo Dock:Workstation 65337.1:4

On the Powerbook, in Control Panels | Network, I now see a new icon, "Ethertalk". Unfortunately, when I try to select it as my AppleTalk Connection, the Powerbook gives this error message:

"You cannot choose a zone at this time because no internet router is available."

What should I do next?
