First fo all, plz, in the next reply please tell me you MacOS version (8.x,
9, 9.04, 9.1...)
You can always have an AppleShare name on your imac, that has nothing to do
with IP names, so you can name your mac 'Preston' in the File Sharing control
panel, and this is idependent from TCP/IP access, for which you mac is named
ds101.hmbg.wsu.edu. For AppleTalk nets, your iMac will be that name.

Then something is not working well. When you open you Chooser and click on
the AppleShare icon, what do you see ? Are there many zones available or
just one ? Open the AppleShare control panel in the
imac and you should see which AppleTalk network zone your iMac is hung on
(and this is also the default zone selected when you click on
Chooser-AppleShare).
Then configure netatalk in the linux box to hang on the same AppleTalk
network.

How ? Which protocol ?

I am trying to make it run on 2.4, but I think I do not have enough kernel
knowledge to do that...
