Description
I'm not an expert in this, so this easily could be my fault. I've brought 2 laptops one is in my room and is doing heavy lifting for me. The other I walk about with. I'd like to be able to connect to my room laptop/server by name so I figured I could use avahi and mdns. I believe I've set things up properly but I don't see any other hosts except the one running the daemon (i.e., each laptop only sees itself, but no-one else in the conference or the other laptop) when I run avahi-discover. FWIW the in room laptop is plugged into the wired network, the walking laptop is wifi. Now from traceroute I can see that I am not on the same LAN (there's routing involved), so will this just not work as a solution for me anyway? Thanks, Chris.

Standard MDNS does not traverse network boundaries, since it uses link-local multicast for discovery.
There used to be a (working) extension called "Wide Area Bonjour", but I do not know, if this was ever ported to/implemented in avahi.
Your milage may vary ...
