Local Hostname Resolution Fails #60

Open ophilli opened 7 years ago

ophilli commented 7 years ago

Attempts to resolve local hostnames such as octopi.local, CATS-SQL.local, or series1-10306.local all fail on a standard LAN. These function normally on the octopi distro, and my Win7 machine.

This can be temporarily resolved by configuring a static map in our router for the desired MAC/IP combos.

A static map of CATS-SQL wasn't enough to resolve the issue between CATS-Beta-2 and CATS-SQL - despite resolving the issue for CATS-Beta-2 and the TAM printers. The static map and an installation of Netatalk was enough to allow communication.

However, a cold boot of CATS-Beta-2 still fails as seen in the [Boot logs].(https://gist.github.com/ophilli/ab2b7e8924690d181a47d056f93f2ffa)

It appears that Netatalk works intermittently. Not sure what is going on.

Today on two of my Octopi computers I was unable to ping any of the other Raspberry Pis.

I removed all of the static dhcp allocations and rebooted everything - this appears to have resolved the issue.

I'm wondering if this is a problem with the LAN in the Makerspace now. We're having a lot of weird even with some Octopi machines.

Recently I swapped everything over to the switch in the Makerspace, rather than through the router. This has allowed me to ping all the other .local domains. There was one older Raspberry Pi that I wasn't able to ping, and installing avahi-daemon on that machine promptly resolved that.

Will continue to monitor for further updates.
