[avahi] Problem browsing service with avahi and wlan0

[Dave Lazar]

Hi Trent...

The only problem I have with that is that:

A) it worked perfect with Ubuntu 7.04... so the multicast issue with the
card is not at fault
b) nothing has changed with my router..

Thanks for the kind response though.. it remains a mystery to me as to why I
cannot browse or discover this service.. my wired 7.10 workstation sees it
perfect.. only my wireless box is failing now.. and only since I updated to
Ubuntu 7.10 and wicd....

Cheers
