When I asked for help on configuration files (which did help me get the system up) someone asked for copies of the files when I got done. The mailer keeps bouncing the message, so I am trying to get it through on the list. Sorry for any inconvenience. Also anyone who want to corrent any misconceptions I have (and have expressed here) please feel free. --- message follows (I hope 'rbw' gets it) --- Funny you should ask. I just got it working last night. Here are my configuration files. We have a class C internet (we only get to change the last number) with Suns and Symbolics. From what I can see these are the crucial elements, The network number of the KBox as listed in the 'atalk.local' file is different from the one listed in the 'atalkatab' file. The one in the 'atalk.local' file is for the ethernet side of the network and the one listed in the 'atalkatab' file is the one for the appletalk side. One of the fields in the 'atalkatab' file lists both addresses. The other thing which seem to be crucial is to not have any address in the field of the prompt congig file for the "real gateway" unless you have one!
