I only have an understanding of AppleTalk from the network perspective.

When MAC's boot they aquire a network in the range 65280-65534, and use
ZIP GetNetInfo to try & determine the correct network range & zone.  For
all your machines to learn the same network number you need to set up
one of the machines as a seed router, i.e. a with a cable number in the
range 1-65279.  This router also requires a default zone name.
