Did you set the gconf setting to browse for DAAP shares? I still

Run this:

I ran this and it returned true. I think the problem is at the avahi
layer or below, most probably something to do with my network setup.
However, I've run out of ideas on how to debug further as I have lmited
knowledge of how all the this daap stuff is supposed to work. If I run
avahi-browse on the Linus box this is what I get
bunkerbay:/home/bdalton# avahi-browse -a

bunkerbay is the Linux box which is running rhythmbox with music shared
as 'laptop'. So the lapop can see itself but there is no mention of the
XP machine. If I run netcat on the XP box and send dummy packets to port
3535 then I get the following output from avahi-daemon --debug
bunkerbay:/usr/share/doc/avahi-utils# avahi-daemon --debug
Found user 'avahi' (UID 111) and group 'avahi' (GID 111).
Successfully dropped root privileges.
avahi-daemon 0.5.2 starting up.
Failed to read service directory.
New relevant interface wlan0.2.
Network interface enumeration completed.

Recieved invalid packet.
which would indicate to me that I have connectivity (the invalid packets
being the ones sent by netcat). However, when I start iTunes on the XP
machine I don't get any further output from avahi-daemon. Is port 3535
where connections are initated of is there some other conversation that
needs to go on first?
Thanks
