OK, answering myself. I found the problem, at least in my system. Obviously there is something wrong with some network cards and multicast in Ubuntu / Linux.
I read about it in the german Ubuntu Wiki: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Avahi#Avahi-im-Netzwerk The solution is a simple sudo ifconfig eth0 allmulti To make it restart save add the following in the file /etc/network/ interfaces in the section for the relevant NIC (take care of indentation): post-up infconfig eth0 allmulti Hope that helps Kristian _______________________________________________ avahi mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/avahi
