[Latest model Airport basestation] won't bridge AppleTalk to the WAN port

Thanks, that's both enlightening and baffling (why on earth does it do
that?). How annoying of Apple.

Where would Appletalk go to on the WAN port if DHCP and NAT were on? (That
is, the WAN port connects to the public internet.) It would be necessary
for all the routers on the internet to understand Appletalk and route it
somewhere ...

Oops, sorry, I was in a hurry and didn't read what you wrote properly -
I read "LAN" for "WAN".

So - your Airport Extreme bridges AppleTalk between wired and wireless
LAN segments. Does anyone's Time Capsule do the same? Maybe it's just
Time Capsule that doesn't.
