I'll take another run at this tomorrow - thanks for looking at it! In the interim, can you try loading `a2e_tt_raw` from `a2e_tt.sit` above? I may have posted the wrong exported file in that first one.

Which exact file are you trying to load? I may have gotten things mixed up on my end.

I was worried about another Apple firmware issue that wasn't properly handling node 254 due to an off-by-one in the code. Just for fun I patched the constructor for LocalTalkPort() to use 151 - no joy. Still the same dropped session. I'll keep chipping away. Forgot to mention: An SE/30...

If you have a Mac System 7.x environment the Watcher utility can load the raw data I posted. Then you can filter and dive into each packet for a full decoding with payload. Otherwise, here are the very end of the traces. First is the Gatorbox (stable sessions): E 80 0.0000 lap dst 133 lap...

So, there are a few differences in the traces that jump out. In no particular order: The Gatorbox session advertises the zone, while tashtalk router does not: E 80 0.0000 lap dst 255 lap src 133 NBP: LkUp id=0 (hirsch:Apple IIe@LocalTalk2ZoneA) vs. E 80 0.0000 lap dst 255 lap src 254...

For comparison, here is a localtalk capture of the IIe connecting to the server over the Tashtalk router. Session was dead almost immediately after listing the mounted directory.

Here's an updated zip file with the 'Watcher' utilitiy and original capture files in a SIT to preserve resource forks. By installing the app on a Mac system 7 platform you can load the pkt file and browse / expand at will.

I understand completely, not a problem. Just want to be sure I give you something that's useful and easy to decipher! Having spent 25 years in software development I have a good understanding of the "right headspace".

@tashtari - Here's perhaps a more useful localtalk trace taken with a different utility. This is an Apple IIe with workstation card talking to a netatalk server over a Gatorbox router. Node 133 is the Gatorbox itself, 68 is the Apple 2e, 2.238.128 is the AFP server. I'm not 100% sure I'm...

@tashtari - Is the localtalk traffic capture of a stable session between IIe and netatalk server over the Gatorbox of any use? Do you need a different format? Please let me know how I can help - thanks.

If your distro has /etc/rc.local you can put the commands there. Otherwise you may have to navigate the wacky world of systemd to come up with an answer.

Yes, I was just calling this to @RolandJuno 's attention so they could check for misconfiguration.

@tashtari - Here is a localtalk trace of the IIe connecting to the netatalk server over the Gatorbox (no TashTalk active). In this situation it stays connected as long as one would wish. There are numerous filter options and other tools that can be used for this, so let me know if it's...

Just for completeness' sake, here is the configuration for my Gatorbox (which has NOT been running during the captures I posted above). I'm getting ready to capture localtalk traffic between the Apple IIe and the server. Configuration Information for GatorBox "Gator_Hirsch"... Tue, Mar 12, 1996...

Interesting. I have a tap/tun setup here and in mine eth0 does not get an IP address: root@tashtalk:~/tashrouter# ifconfig br0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.245.48 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.245.255 inet6...

I'm going to try to rope Geoff Body into this discussion. I have a feeling he knows right off the bat what's going on.

Based on the symptoms you describe I believe you are now seeing the same session drop as I do when networking an Apple IIe across the tashrouter.

The IWAT ROM is Apple part number 342-0034-B, but I'm not finding a dump in my archives. I have the board here and will image it a bit later today. UPDATE: Here is the firmware from the IWLT board, complete with the developers who may be blamed for it :-)

Here are a couple of captured traces from my setup using an unmodified tashrouter. The 'a2e.log' starts slightly before I boot the IIe, logon as user 'a2e' and mount A2BOOT and A2E shares. There's time for one or two directory listings of /a2e before it "loses" the server. The 'a2gs' log is...

Which file, for those of us not familiar with the code yet?
