Loye Young 
Thank you very much for you hints. 
Fortunately i don't have to use my desktop as a router any more, as i have 
already purchased a hardware adsl modem router. I have configured my desktop 
and laptop to have static ip addresses and everything works fine.

Once again thank you for the time you consumed to deal with my problem,
i will keep your message in case a friend might need it.

When eth0 is set to static IP or DHCP then eth0:avahi looses its IP and local 
connection is lost
