[Bug 908466] [NEW] IPv6 avahi servers are not discovered

 

Public bug reported:

When I click 'Browse Network' in nautilus, I get a list of computers
advertising SFTP on my network.

My laptop doesn't show up in the list.

Here is the avahi output for my laptop (the MAC address has been removed):
chris@chris-iMac:~$ avahi-browse -ta | grep M3
+  wlan0 IPv6 chris@chris-Inspiron-M301Z                    iChat Presence       local
+   eth0 IPv6 chris@chris-Inspiron-M301Z                    iChat Presence       local

Here is a computer that does show up:
chris@chris-iMac:~$ avahi-browse -ta | grep michael
+  wlan0 IPv6 michael-test                                  SFTP File Transfer   local

+   eth0 IPv4 michael-test [**:**:**:**:**:**]              Workstation          local
+  wlan0 IPv6 michael-test                                  Remote Disk Management local
+   eth0 IPv6 michael-test                                  Remote Disk Management local
+   eth0 IPv4 michael-test                                  Remote Disk Management local

There are 2 differences (that I think are significant) between my laptop
and the computers showing up. My laptop is only connected over wifi. My
laptop is only showing up as IPv6 (presumably because of the wifi
network).
