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.
