publish services over link-local to windows/bonjour

[farhad]

Hi,

I have avahi running on a FC9 machine having 2 network interfaces. Eth0 is connected to the router and Eth1 is on link-local with a windows machine. I am publishing http and ssh services. The windows machine has bonjour installed.

I am trying to publish services from the Linux machine to the Windows machine over link-local. Both linux and windows machines obtained a link local Ip address. Linux did it through avahi-autoipd and windows used LLMNR. But for some reason I never see the published services in the Bonjour tab in Windows IE.

Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong? My service descriptions are ok because I see those services if all machines are connected via a router.

Thank you in advance for your help.

First, please note that this is not supposed to be a trouble ticket system. Instead it is a bug tracking system. If you need help, bring this up on IRC or the ML.

LLMNR is not a protocol for acquiring IP addresses, so Windows certainly didn't acquire an address an address via LLMNR. IPV4LL is more likely.

Maybe you are running a firewall of some kind? use a tool like Wireshark (which is available for both Linux and Windows) to figure out if mDNS packets (UDP port 5353) correctly reach the other machine.
