I am not a native speaker but I use the terms "mDNS stack", "mDNS
core", "mDNS engine", "mDNS responder" and "mDNS server" almost
interchangeably.

As Lathiat already said, please check if you run a firewall with
"iptables -nvL".

mDNS is an UDP service, so better check if "netstat -ulpn" returns
anything for port 5353. And if "netstat -gn" shows a line for "224.0.0.251".
