<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m experiencing a peculiar issue with my avahi where the address of the published service gets a “-2” appended to it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My use of Avahi is essentially this: <a href="http://www.avahi.org/doxygen/html/client-publish-service_8c-example.html">
http://www.avahi.org/doxygen/html/client-publish-service_8c-example.html</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The service always gets published without fail, with the correct service name, and TXT records. However, the address that avahi-discover shows, has a -2 appended to it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am not sure why, because in code I am passing a null pointer for the host, as per documentation:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:16.5pt">“<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">The host this services is residing on. We recommend to pass NULL here, the daemon will than automatically insert the local host name in
that case”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The only way I’ve been able to resolve this is by killing the avahi-daemon and restarting it. Does anyone have any idea as to what could be causing this behavior?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you,<o:p></o:p></p>
