Ok - I stopped the avahi service and then started it again with the --debug switch, this generated avahi_start.txt (attached). Henry is my server, scotty is my desktop from which I'm doing this. I waited for about five minutes and then tried: $ getent hosts henry.local which returned nothing at the cli but one line was added to the log: 27/01/2012 18:02:03 scotty avahi-daemon[5606] simple-protocol.c: Got RESOLVE-HOSTNAME-IPV4 request for 'henry.local'. I immediately tried my Ubuntu laptop which worked as expected. A second attempt on my desktop did not yield any different results. I restarted avahi-daemon and tried again immediately and correctly got the resolved address at the cli with the same message in the logs as above. Wait a couple of minutes and back to the same problem. Just to make sure I tried to resolve the hostname of the laptop and this did not work either. -- Geoff
