From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: When activating atalk in service configuration GUI window the network activity lights on my switch blink very rapidly (probably 20 times per second) yet Mac computers (both OS X and OS 9) have problems connecting. If I let atalk run, when I logout, the login screen does not appear unless I physically disconnect the ethernet connection from this machine to my switch (which seems to crash the atalk broadcast daemon but not the server portion as connected Macs still can access files on the server, but new connections can not be made). I am using default setup files in /etc/atalk/ Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.start atalk in servce config window 2.look at network activity lights on your switch/hub 3. Actual Results: Network activity lights blink almost constantly, probably 20 times per second, Macs can not connect most of the time, unable to logout of user account to graphical red hat 8.0 login window. Expected Results: Red Hat server should appear in Mac's chooser window and should be able to login using user name and password. Additional info: Using ip addresses 192.168.0.1 for Red Hat 8.0 server, 192.168.0.1 for Mac 1 192.168.0.2 for Mac 2 mask for all 255.255.255.0
Using ip addresses 192.168.0.1 for Red Hat 8.0 server, 192.168.0.1 for Mac 1 192.168.0.2 for Mac 2 mask for all 255.255.255.0 Are you actually using the same IP address on the server and on Mac 1? Perhaps you've gotten this working by changing addresses on one of those two systems?
No, that is a typo in the IP addresses. Should say Red Hat Server: 192.1698.0.1 Mac 1: 192.168.0.2 Mac 2: 192.168.0.3 etc. Still have problem of when starting up netatalk that I can't logout (logout hangs with the blank background screen until I physically disconnect the Red Hat network cable and plug it back in. Interestingly, after I do that I can connect from a Mac if I type in the IP address, but the Red Hat Server does not connect if I double-click in the Chooser (Mac OS 9). So it partially does work now, just not fully. (Update 30-mar-2003) Eric Swanson
