Something Ate My Avahi
So the new NAS is happily running Debian now, and I'll write a long blog for anyone who wants to do the same once I have one remaining problem sorted out... Avahi doesn't work. If I start Avahi on the NAS other machines see the announcement and the names it provides will resolve, but after a few minutes they fail to resolve as they timeout. Unless my router is incredibly brain-dead it can't be the cause, because the old NAS is connected in exactly the same way and it works fine. For extra fun, the NAS can't see the rest of the mDNS network. It's almost like the network driver is dropping incoming multicast packets.
Before anyone asks, there is no firewall running on the NAS. Does anyone have any ideas?
