Thanks Michael. I can't get it to go.

As a sidenote, slptool findsrvtypes gives useful output, but putting one of
those lines at the end of slptool findsrvs never gives me anything. I've
tried 2 different networks now. Can someone confirm 

cat /etc/slp.reg.d/suse.reg
service install.suse:ftp://$HOSTNAME/suse10.2/,en,65535
description SUSE 10.2 box i386 + AMD64

is correct? That's what
http://en.opensuse.org/Network_Installation_Source#Announcing_the_Installation_Source_via_SLP
says (though I edited that page at some stage).

Am I the only one with this problem now? I'd like to use it for several
SUSE versions incl the testing ones. If someone has a working config I'd
appreciate an offlist copy.

Here's another openSUSE 10.2 SLP server (slpserver), while booting a
10.2 CD1 (installclient) on the same 8-port hub/switch. Only change on
the client is that SLP is selected as source. The service 
ftp://$HOSTNAME/suse10.2/ is functional. iptables disabled. SLP server
left on multicast config (as per yast default). Edited for legibility:

        .

Unless there's traffic on a port other than 427, the server isn't
responding. Any hints on why appreciated.

Thanks,

Volker
