I'll report back.Yep - I bet that was it - I haven't left it running long enough to provefor sure, but the firewall wasn't opened correctly. Thought I'd done that earlier :-( Do I need the entire 224.0.0.0/4 open? or can I tighten that down a bit? Just 224.0.0.251 didn't seem to be enough.You need to allow mDNS traffic to port 5353 coming from any host on the LAN and going to any host on the local LAN or going to the mDNS group 224.0.0.251.
Just as a partial update to this issue. The problem seems to be on the Mac side, not Avahi. Have dropped for now.
