Hi, Thanks for the tip I am not running any firewalls on the workstation or server as they are on a private subnet... I am really at a loss as to why avahi-browse does not seem to be able to see the server... perhaps it has something to do with the way my wireless card is configured. I noticed for example when starting Banshee in debug mode, it looks for NetworkManager which I replaced with Wicd...even so... avahi-browse should reveal the shares....

The solution is to add an allow rule for UDP port 5353. If that doesn't seem to be the case, see whether   /sbin/iptables -vL shows the existence of any firewall rules. -- \0 _______________________________________________ avahi mailing list <a href="mailto:avahi@lists.freedesktop.org">avahi@lists.freedesktop.org</a> <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/avahi" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/avahi</a> </blockquote></div>
