Hmm, nmap is probably not the best tool to check whether UDP ports are accesible. Please make sure that you don't have any firewall configured, with "iptables -L -n". Apparently UDP communication on port 5353 doesn't work on your machine. Please try "tcpdump -i eth0 -n udp port 5353" and then run "avahi-resolve-host-name yourhost.local" at the same time. Then, tcpdump should show you two packets: the question and the reply. Something like this: <snip> 19:54:42.683111 IP 192.168.50.4.5353 > 224.0.0.251.5353: 0 [2q] A? ecstasy.local.
