The question that was asked earlier about Appletalk printing reminded me of one of my own. I run netatalk here on my home network and I have noticed that my netatalk-ers all grab addresses in the 65280 range (as well as I can recall, the left side of the dot is the network range, the right side the host address, and the other side of the colon is a port or service identifier). [/usr/home/paul]:: nbplkup red:AFPServer 65280.153:132 red:netatalk 65280.153:4 red:Workstation 65280.153:4 pink:Darwin 65522.222:128 pink:AFPServer 65522.222:129 blue:AFPServer 65280.220:134 blue:LaserWriter 65280.220:132 blue:Workstation 65280.220:4 blue:netatalk 65280.220:4 My Darwin-based machines live in the 65522 range. It looks like something is assuming a router. For example, I can use aecho to "ping" hosts in the same range with no qualifiers.
