First let me catch everyone up to speed on what I have done so far. I have a Centris 650 acting as a gateway for several compact macs. The Centris has Ethernet on it. Using IPNetRouter I have routed the Internet from the Centris through MacIP over localtalk (phone-net) to the compact macs. So far so good. I can share files, connect to the Internet, share printers, life is good.
Now, I want to be able to share a MacOS X box with the Centris and by extension to the Compact macs. The Centris is running System 7.5.3. I have installed Network Software Installer 1.4.5 and Appleshare Workstation 3.5 on the Centris as suggested by System 6 Heaven here:

I have also installed Share Points on my ibook running 10.3 and checked the Use Appletalk checkbox that does something in Netinfo.
I can ping the IP address of the Centris 650 fine. However, I cannot see the Centris if I try afp://192.168.0.4 (Centris IP) into Connect to Server... in the Go menu of the finder. I also cannot see it from the classic-mode chooser. So, what am I doing wrong? I have all the right software, why isn't it working?
Ok, next problem, I also cannot ping anything on the 192.168.2.0 network (the network I assigned for the compact macs) from my OS X box. maybe I don't understand routing well enough, but I don't understand why I can't ping that network.
