How to announce avahi service to ppp0 interface clients?

Lightningbolt · #1 13th August 2012, 02:15 PM

Hi, I have a Fedora 12 server running a PPTP VPN. My server has a single NIC (eth0) in the 192.168.0.0./24 network connected to a broadband router (192.168.0.1). The PPTP server uses interface ppp0, local IP is 10.0.0.1 and VPN client IP is 10.0.0.10

I have edited the avahi configuration file adding both eth0 and ppp0 interfaces, and allowing point to point interfaces, but the avahi service is still not available to the clients in the VPN.

This is the avahi-daemon.conf file:

[server]
#host-name=foo
#domain-name=local
browse-domains=0pointer.de, zeroconf.org
use-ipv4=yes
use-ipv6=no
allow-interfaces=eth0,ppp0
#deny-interfaces=eth1
#check-response-ttl=no
#use-iff-running=no
#enable-dbus=yes
#disallow-other-stacks=no
#allow-point-to-point=yes

[wide-area]
enable-wide-area=yes

[publish]
#disable-publishing=no
#disable-user-service-publishing=no
#add-service-cookie=no
/etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf

----------------------------------------

And the avahi log only announcing to eth0 network:
