not sure of is exactly what you mean by "tell it to receive packets

setting to get it to receive via MacIP?
All I can see is the basic LocalTalk icon with a place to put an IP
address along with a more button which allows you to enter the gateway
address and the DNS info. Am I missing something?
In the MacTCP control panel, the LocalTalk icon is the MacIP driver.
Select that.
On this page there is a picture of the More dialog.

Notice it's set to Server addressing - that means that the machine
will obtain its address via DHCP. Use that if you're enabling the
DHCP server in IPNetRouter. Otherwise use Manual.
In the DNS Information table, notice the domain column. The topmost
entry has your real domain name. And the ones below that are just
periods -- VERY important that you do that. In the IP Address
column, put your main DNS in the first one and a decent alternative,
such as Google's DNS, 8.8.8.8, in the other two. And be sure the
first one is marked as default.
Note in particular the "MacTCP Troubleshooting" section of that page.
Trashing the Prep and DNR files can fix many ills.
Once this is all running, use a tool such as WhatRoute to run pings
and traceroutes and such.
