Try using Howl
For your Linux box, something that might help even more would be to install Howl. Howl gives you, among other things, a mDNSResponder daemon for your Linux box, which allows your Macs to find it via "hostname.local" without a DNS server present (just like your Macs can do with each other), making your mixed network seem a lot more cozy. It comes as source, and interestingly it wouldn't compile on YDL (which I assume you're running) back when I tried it, but there was a simple fix I made to one of the headers, all I had to do was add a line just to tell it that the PPC linux architecture was "Big Endian". If that fix hasn't been integrated into the source code out there now, let me know and I can dig up where that line was...it's been a while so I don't remember of the top of my head and the old UMAX S900 that I did it on is in the closet--still has YDL installed, though...It should be fairly easy to figure out--it said the problem in the compile errors, and I figured it out and I have very little experience with Linux, that fix was about the deepest I've ever gotten. |
