[avahi] Can't browse published services

[robert]

Hi all, 

I'm new to avahi and zeroconf. I've compiled and installed the latest svn on 
suse 10.2., which incidently came preinstalled with mDNSresponder and a rpm 
package of avahi - I disabled and am ignoring the suse packages AFAICT. 

Starting avahi-daemon with --debug , I can see the published service from  KDE 
Public File Server applet (after configuring it to use avahi): 

Dec 28 08:00:46 linux-robert avahi-daemon[3322]: dbus-service-type-browser.c: 
interface=org.freedesktop.Avahi.ServiceTypeBrowser, 
path=/Client1/ServiceTypeBrowser1, member=Free

That seems to be my event. I can't use avahi-browse to see the service though, 
nor zeroconf:/ in konqueror , nor a program called mdns-scan . I'm sure I'm 
just missing something simple. Any ideas ? Please advise what config info I 
can supply if needed.
