Thomas, would you happen to know if the information found here http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/71more.html#fs10 does in fact make ethernet connectivity via appletalk and older macs, such as the duo, easier? Do you use this Mac OSX preference pane - it's called share points. Quoted from the link above Bottom line? Get SharePoints. While you can get by without it, it makes it much easier to set up sharing under osX, especially with older systems. SharePoints can be downloaded from <www.hornware.com>.
