Has anyone had any success setting up Howl (Zeroconf) on OpenBSD 4.3.
I've done a lot of Googling and read the (minimal) docs, but I can't get
it working. I'm unable to determine if I'm doing something incorrectly,
or if it is a problem with Howl, or something else. I'm looking for
suggestions on where to start.
Background: Fresh install of OpenBSD 4.3 i386 within the last couple of
days. All software is installed from packages. I'm using a Linksys
EG1032v3 network card with the RE driver. Starting Howl in debug mode
seems to indicate that it's sending the multicast packets to somewhere I
can't explain - 224.0.0.251.
