Find services at localhost

[Seng, Thomas]

Hi,

I'm a avahi beginner.

I do some tests with avahi using the examples. I start the service and a
service browser on the same machine.
But if no ip-address is assigned to the network adapter(s) the service
browser doesn't find the published service.

Is there any possibility to find the service in this case? Must the
service be published in a special way?

Thanks for any help.

Unfortunately this is a limitation of Avahi at the moment.. in theory  
we could support lookup on the loopback adapter but that presents a  
few issues specifically you will always see duplicate services (same  
services on 2 interfaces) for local and ethernet.. which can be  
confusing

At the moment this behavior has not been changed.. in theory we can  
change it though.
