I turned of all filesahring protocols on my PB, and guess what? Not only did Wired_Wench still show up in the Network browser but it freaking connected. That's so awesome. Why did it have to something so simple the whole time. Damn.
Ok well, I'd like to thank everyone who gave there input and assistance on this. It's so great to know that's so many people out there willing to help with a problem they can't even see. Wow, I love these little communities that maillists and forums create.
Well, I'm sure I'll end up with some other problem that I can't figure out myself, and come back here to ask for help. But until then, hopefully I can help someone else in return.
Thanks alot guys.

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.
Now we're talking details! Let's see if someone can once and for all resolve your problem (plus, since it's something that's apparently been seen before it may be worth documenting the solution).
I have to run but may I suggest that you turn OFF all filesharing services on your OS X machine? Then try to connect to the machine. And, see if you see WiredWench in the "connect to dialogue". I don't see my YDL server in the connect to dialogue, but, then again I'm running a Netgear 614 wireless router that doesn't pass "old" AppleTalk so that may be the reason.
Also, are you perhaps running a firewall on the eMac? (or even on the OS X machine)?
It looks like you're having network-related issues so that's where you
should focus your efforts. The fact that you're not even getting response from afp://192... suggests that to me.
PS afp is the protocol (like ftp, http, etc), atalk is the server and netatalk is the package that provides everything (much like Apache provides httpd which provides http services).
