Thanks for all the suggestions about getting Ubuntu MATE to recognise other
nodes on my network using the .local hostname as well as just the IP address.
A number of Avahi-related packages are missing from Ubuntu MATE (14.10)
compared with other flavours in which .local hostnames are recognised out of
the box:
gnome-user-share
libavahi-compat-libdnssd1
libmono-zeroconf1.0-cil
avahi-discover
avahi-dnsconfd
Clearly the absence of each and every one of these packages can't have been
equally to blame, and several of them bring quite a few dependencies across
with them. However, installing them all got everything working properly.
Thanks again.
Nige
