Hmm, that doesn't seem right. I have a .localdomain on all my hostnames and Avahi and mDNS work just fine with the special .local domain. [jbastian@tarantula ~]$ hostname tarantula.localdomain [jbastian@tarantula ~]$ ip addr show em1 | grep inet | awk '{print $2}' 192.168.1.75/24 fe80::f2de:f1ff:fe15:6496/64 From another system: [jbastian@gecko ~]$ avahi-resolve-host-name tarantula.local tarantula.local fe80::f2de:f1ff:fe15:6496 [jbastian@gecko ~]$ ping -n tarantula.local PING tarantula.local (192.168.1.75) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.1.75: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.281 ms ... Maybe you have iptables blocking mDNS traffic (tcp port 5353)? Jeff -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
