Trying to not divert from the topic, each vlan should be a completely separate ethernet looking device, except for the fact, that the "base" eth0 device is "up", without ipv4 addresses, and this device may see some some weird packets (the vlan-tagged ones), if watched closely. (That is, they will not be recognized by the OS as a duplicate of the "other" packet, but with tcpdump, you can examine them just as well.) > If you register a service manually on GW, by calling: > > avahi-publish-service test _test._tcp 80 > > does this work? "Too many arguments", but the following works: # avahi-publish -s test _test._tcp 80 Established under name 'test' (after ctrl-c) Got SIGINT, quitting. And it appears on the other machine. I got an idea though; I had "use-ipv6=no" in avahi-daemon.conf, but it still printed a few ipv6 related log lines; setting it to "use-ipv6=yes" on GW made the whole thing to work as I would expect! Though I don't use ipv6, it's compiled into the kernel, and they have the link-local addresses autoconfigured. I'm appending a diff between the output of the ipv6=no vs. the ipv6=yes cases: --- avano6.txt 2007-08-29 20:52:43.303329148 +0000 +++ ava6.txt 2007-08-29 20:59:06.798540000 +0000 @@ -5,12 +5,20 @@ Successfully dropped remaining capabilities.

How this (when disabling ipv6) affects the registering of the ssh services is a bit too above my head right now :) Janos _______________________________________________ avahi mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/avahi
