Hello,

since the elder days of the original 1.4b code I saw an issue which I could not \
explain.

Take two linux-2.2.15-glibc-2.1.2 hosts. Install and run atalkd on both machines, \
which both have two network interfaces. Every machine has one connection to the \
other. This connection is a modem link (with vtun). I don't think, this is an issow, \
because I had a similar setup 2 years ago with stock 1.4b2 via pure ethernet and the \
same problems. The free network interface is connected to a Mac (OS 7.6.1/w OT 1.3 \
and stock OS 8.1 respectively). One side has also a 2nd linux-box running.

Nbplkup shows both linux machines (afpd) very fine. But one mac can't see the other.

I looked into /proc/atalk_iface and /proc/atalk_route and saw that the routes get set \
okay as expected. I also nbplkup'ed a bit and aechoed remote machines: Works \
perfectly.

Name propagation seems to be reliable only locally:

This is the view on the remote side. You see 17.124 (Mac/8.1).

                         shauny:Workstation                        5.1:4

I could verify this behaviour with trawl from the local Mac: No Mc on the other side.

Has anyone verified this behaviour befor or am I the only one which has such a "big" \
network? :-)
