I found out, and maybe this is the cause of my problem. Below you can 
see the output of 'ifconfig'. br0 is the bridge, which bridges between 
eth0 and eth1. The Client is connected to eth1. It seems Avahi on server 
sends IP-address from eth1-avah (169.254.9.181) instead of br0 
(192.168.7.120) which is wrong. :( By the way, why is there no br0-avah? 
Is this normal?

Simple question: What should I do, so that Avahi sends IP of br0 
(192.168.7.120)?
