- If you have IP on the Ethernet wire, don't use EtherTalk, use Ethernet;
- that will produce native-format IP packets, rather than IP in AppleTalk.
-
- Most gateways will not translate IP in AppleTalk into IP if they get it
- on their Ethernet side unless you change a setting (Option 7 on a
- Fastpath, for example).
