Hi Admins,
I've run into an appletalk situation where something on the network is
preventing atalkd from starting on a RH6.0 server. I know it's on the
network, because it starts ok if I plug the server and one Mac into a hub
all alone.
When starting the atalk from the command line, i get
bind: Cannot assign requested address
/var/log/messages says:
Aug 3 17:20:03 DC-Archive atalkd[2761]: restart (1.4b2+asun2.1.0)

Aug 3 17:20:05 DC-Archive atalkd: AppleTalk not up! Child exited with 1.
Aug 3 17:20:05 DC-Archive atalk: atalkd startup failed
The atalk.conf file is currently configured with the following line (but
I've been through dozens of configurations with similar results):
eth0 -phase 2 -net 10-20 -addr 10.5 -zone "the road"
The ifconfig of the eth0 looks like this:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:04:77:85:37
inet addr:10.1.45.11 Bcast:10.1.45.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

Metric:1
RX packets:70931 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:6950 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:168
The netcard is a 3c905(a or b) using the 3c59x driver.
Any clues anybody can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
