Sorry, forgot to mention, ping with ip does work, only ping with hostname.local doesn't. Avahi-discover is great, thanks! But I'm only one step further, since now after a reboot, when everything works as expected, it shows the server's hostname as a Workstation. I can get its details (IP address etc.) When connections using the hostname stopped working, the hostname is still shown as a Workstation, but I cannot get its details anymore, instead I get the following error: org.freedesktop.Avahi.TimeoutError: Timeout reached What timeout is that, one on the server or one on the client? I still don't get it :-( Thanks! B. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
