Description:
When I use avahi-resolve-host-name laptop.local, it returns an IPv4 or IPv6 address, but when using e.g. ping laptop.local, I get 'Unknown host'. I use following line in nsswitch.conf: hosts: files mdns_minimal dns mdns (same result when using mdns4) Additional info: * package version(s) avahi 0.6.25-1 kernel26 2.6.32.8-1 filesystem 2010.01-1 (x86_64) * config and/or log files etc. nsswitch.conf: contains 'hosts: files mdns_minimal dns mdns' Steps to reproduce: ping a host in the zeroconf .local domain |
This task depends upon
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Avahi#Hostname_resolution
PING naboo.local (192.168.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
be sure you have nss-mdns installed as it is an optdepends of avahi. not forget about starting avahi-daemon
