Like not being on the system at all. lets see if it's installed. the command:- locate avahi should produce screeds of output. In particular look for the binaries. $ locate avahi | grep sbin /usr/sbin/avahi-autoipd /usr/sbin/avahi-daemon If you do not see that then ( imho ) Debian have screwed up. The problem might have been fixed in the interim. Try doing a software update and upgrade. sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade If that doesn't fix the problem it might be worth trying a manual install of the avahi stuff. sudo apt-get install avahi-daemon You might have to install the avahi-autoipd daemon by hand too. I do not know the dependences. sudo apt-get install avahi-autoipd HTH have fun, best of luck -- Sincerely etc. Christopher Sawtell
