I agree and disagree. YES you can work very fine as said above (I did it
for a while) but NO you can't have same IP adress. In fact, the very
simple mode of operation described above is: -- IP is for Linux only and
Appletalk is for MOL only --, so there are no confusions, absolutly no IP
networking under MOL, so MOL has really no IP adress at all ! That's why
it's so simple to have it work. It's noteworthy that Apple formely used
Appletalk only protocols and now offer us the choice between Appletalk and
TCP/IP, that's great!
Salutations.
