If it can access the server by IP, but the server is not showing up in the chooser, it is most likely a problem with the netatalk kernel module, not with netatalk itself. I had a similar problem with a RedHat 6.2 box, I fixed the problem by installing FreeBSD 4.1.1. I've upgraded it to 4.2 recently and there have not been any problems.
