I got it working! (Well, on two out of three). And... Jan Ritzerfeld wrote:Does the output of "systemctl status avahi-daemon" indicate that you are
actually joining the mDNS multicast groups? Do you find any system using "avahi-browse --all"? This gave the first clue. On one computer this listed out its own hostname with both ipv4 and ipv6, but on the other it listed nothing.
So...
Well, sometimes it simply does not work. I've seen WiFi routers and repeaters that somehow kill mDNS. Besides the obvious: the firewall on the target.
I switched the computer which listed nothing from wlan0 to eth0. Then it listed itself, but only with ipv4, not ipv6. So I disabled ipv6 on both computers, and it all started working. However, adding a third computer wasn't so good. Although it appeared on the avahi-browse -a of the first two, it listed nothing itself. I am not sure why it is at the moment, but that third computer is on 42.2, so needs upgrading anyway. Maybe that will fix it. Danke schön.
