I cannot resolve the hostname on any of the Mac OS X machines...

"ping: cannot resolve trauma.local.: Unknown host"

on the Linux machine (trauma)...

#getent hosts trauma.local
192.168.1.42    trauma.local

#getent hosts empte.local
192.168.1.101   empte.local

I'm running shorewall on the Linux box, but I've also tried it with  
the firewall disabled.

I've tried several different network cards (both wired and wireless).

I'll email you my wireshark capture separately.  Thanks for all your  
help.
