[avahi] Problem browsing service with avahi and wlan0

[Dave Lazar]

Hi,

I fired up avahi-discover on my laptop. wlan0 is my wireless connection
provided by wicd in Ubuntu Gutsy. My server on the same subnet
192.168.1.0/32 is providing an iTunes Audio service called FooRock.

I have a hamachi VPN running too.. ham0 on an other subnet...

My avahi-browse -art reveals:

 avahi-browse -art
+ ham0 IPv4 FooRock                                       iTunes Audio

   hostname = [superfly.local]
   address = [5.45.204.199]
   port = [9]
   txt = ["org.freedesktop.Avahi.cookie=3581690292"]

   txt = []

Workstation          local
   hostname = [unconcious.local]
   address = [192.168.1.65]
   port = [9]
   txt = []

while avahi-discover shows

Banshee Music Sharing should show FooRock if wlan0 picked up the FooRock but
it does not.. only ham0 shows it??? I think this has to do with the
networking somehow but nothing comes to my mind about how to get wlan0 to
recognize FooRock...

Any suggestions?. I have no FW running whatsoever and this used to work
perfect when I had eth1 as my wireless with NetworkManager.. I think it is
only since I switched to Wicd and wlan0 that the trouble started...

Thanks
