Hi John, When you say it works, what utility were you using to browse for services?
Could you also paste the output of avahi-daemon -k (kill running daemon) then run: (as root) avahi-daemon --debug And then attempt to do service discovery/publishing, and send me the log (via private e-mail if you like rather than to the list) Cheers, Trent On Tue, Nov 28, 2006 at 11:21:40AM -0700, John Calcote wrote: > I can't get Avahi to work. > > I played with the avahi packages on SuSE 10.1 last night for about 4 hours. > > During this time, I discovered that SuSE also has the mDNS package from Apple > installed by default and running on their distro.
