Re: Netatalk doing AppleShare over TCP/IP by default?

[Jolly Roger]

Konstantin Reznitsky told me that you need to have a valid DNS entry of the
netatalk server for macs to be able to resolve the name they are getting
from chooser. Is it possible that because I do not have this set up, Mac OS
is unable to connect via TCP/IP without having the IP?

I know next to nothing about setting up valid DNS entries on Linux.  I have
no registered domain, so I am not sure how I can set a valid DNS entry on my
machine.  In Linux config, I set the domain to an arbitrary name.  Is this
not a good idea?  What should I do instead?  Can someone enlighten me?
