[comp.protocols.appletalk] Re problems with KIP

This is in reply to Nick Nei's plea for help with KIP installation.

I am not an expert in KIP, but your /etc/atalkatab file looks funny to me.
First of all, you have two entries for the same ethernet segment:  one that 
indicates that it supports directed broadcast (55.10 N2 126.10.0.0  ...)
and a second that indicates it does NOT support directed broadcast but 
has a host running the re-broadcast server instead (55.10 H 126.10.0.65 ...).
It seems to me you should have only one of these.
Second, if you are running a re-broadcast server, there seems to be some
circularity in saying that the re-broadcast server is the same as the K-box
(126.10.0.65).  Why not run atalkrd on your UNIX box and specify it as the
re-broadcast server.

Hope this helps.
