Normally on a DDP/IP gateway you have the LocalTalk side as say, 192.168.1.x, while the Ethernet side is 192.168.0.x, and the gateway does what a gateway does.
IPNetRouter and Vicom Internet Gateway require the two networks to be in different subnets. Apparently, Apple IP Gateway ... doesn't do that? Flipping through the manual again, I see no mention that it even says to do that. I will fiddle with it more in the next few days, but I'm not sure if it's actually a gateway. Definitions for this stuff is usually murky from what I can tell, with different textbook definitions in different places.
If it needs AIR or something to serve DDP/IP to a LocalTalk port, that's not really a gateway? From what I can tell it's basically just a DDP/IP server, and doesn't work like the others where it "takes control" so to speak of a serial port. It doesn't get assigned LocalTalk Printer Port or LocalTalk Modem Port.
WWW not working I think is a problem with Mosaic. Mosaic 2.0.1 was my default 68k browser for a little while but haven't used it in years and now it doesn't resolve HTTP traffic on any machine I have. Other browsers work fine.
Edit: It works with LocalTalk Bridge and an AppleTalk bridge, but not by itself.
