Here's what I have set up: I've got an Asante router getting the internet connection from my college's network. I've got an eMac running YDL4 and I've got a 15 PB Alu running OSX3.8.
I've turned on both Personal File Sharing and Windows Sharing in the System Preferences. I even turned off the firewall for this. The PB's ip is 192.168.123.148 and eMac's is 192.168.123.158
Ok, so I went back and removed all the files for netatalk, and then did a clean install of netatalk using yum (sudo yum install netatalk). I haven't played with the config files at all, but I open the Service Manager and turn on atalk (afpd doesn't show up here), and then restart the computer. I've set netatalk to runlevels 2,3,4,5 (following the directions from mascarasnake's reply) and make sure atalk starts at boot.
Now I try connecting by going to Network in the Finder on my PB, the eMac (named Wired_Wench) shows up. But if I try to connect, it gives this error message:
Connection failed
This file server is running on your machine. Please access the volumes and files locally.
But if I do a CMD+K and type in the ip (either just 192.168.123.158, or with afp://) I get this error:
Connection Failed No response from server. Please try again.
I've also tried setting up extra accounts on both machines and tried connecting with those, but to no avail. Same errors occur.
Is there something I need to do in OSX to have it send clear text passwords? Cuz I know that by default netatalk works with clear text but I'm not sure what I'd do in OSX.
I hope this helps, if you need any more info let me know. I really wanna be able to get this working, especially now that I'm having probs. It's laughing at me, and I want to be the one with the last laugh.

Yeah it's not a yum problem I'm having, it's a netatalk problem. And yes you are correct I do add sudo before yum install netatalk.
the problem I'm having is that when I try connect from my PB with OSX to
my eMac with YDL, I get the error message saying that the files and
volumes I want on my local drive.
Can you provide us with the FULL text of the error message from your OS X end and describe what the IP addresses are for both machines? Perhaps someone might have insight into your problem with a few more details.
One thought I had... are you ABSOLUTELY sure that you're logging into your YDL Mac, and not locally to your OS X Mac? How are you logging into your YDL Mac? Do you command-K (in Finder) and then type afp://192.168.0.100 or something to that effect? Also, are you sure that you're typing the IP for the server? Be explicit and don't skimp on details. It's hard to trouble-shoot a problem without knowing and/or seeing everything.
PS Also, you may want to create an account on your YDL machine that doesn't exist on your OS X machine. That way you can try to login to something that's known to be unique to your YDL machine (for trouble-shooting purposes).
PSS You may also want to make sure that your OS X machine is loggin in with "clear text password" enabled. YDL/netatalk can't handle encrypted passwords.
